The Coen Brothers: Green

Kubrick Red. Scorsese Red. Refn Red. You may not have noticed, but the Coen Brothers use the color green a lot. This pattern most likely goes unnoticed because, unlike an inyourface color, such as red, green is much more subdued and doesn t alarm our eyes. Green is natural and a part of everyday life, but the Coens make use of the color in places other than nature. In fact, they seem to utilize the color during key moments of their films.
