Are there any good digital B+W features/directors?

It's easy to tell when someone has stuck a greyscale on a project for a last minute arthouse look.

I wondered if there were any good films, or directors, who were really exploring the medium. I think it's got a lot of potential.

I haven't watched it, but Tetro (2009) was shot digitally and released in black and white.

The last film we made, Never Open The Door, was shot in B/W.

Sin City has an interesting look... but there's something I don't like about the frame rate or the shutter speed. I'm not sure what it is. I think it was shot before progressive scan came out. It'd look better with a recent cam.

Checking out Tetro now. Some comments are saying it's a masterpiece.

Got any trailers, Zteve?

Got any trailers, Zteve?

This site will be the first to know, when there is.

I'll be nicking some screengrabs from the editor this weekend, too. My lighting skill reached a whole new level, with this one.

I watched the trailer for Tetro and was kind of dissapointed. I love FFC, but it had a kind of cheap look to it. It just looked like someone shot in digital and slapped a greyscale on it. There was no contrast, grain, or anything visually stimulating.

Some of the shots were OK, but it didn't seem like a genuine exploration of the field of B+W Digi.

Respect to FFC for being an innovator and a visionary, anyway.
