cuttlefish

Cuttlefish, one of the most intelligent invertebrates, can instantaneously change their external coloration and pattern in order to hide themselves from predators and prey, and to communicate with one another. As such, the metaphor of changing face to survive–or thrive–in a larger environment pervades. Primary colors are strategically utilized—both through the cinematography and production design—to symbolize character opposition and evolution.

Structurally speaking, Ronnie’s interactions with recurring spaces and actions evolve in parallel to the larger emotional and intellectual journey of her character. The visual imagery, color palette, and structural cadence of the film enhance the story’s larger conversation around the limitations of a world of binaries.”
