Digital BW, The Print

If you wish to see a truly inventive and artistic use of B/W and colour together (in a film, that is), go out and rent "Ailes du Desir" (Wings of Desire) directed by Wim Wenders . . . you might have to search a little for it, but it is well worth the effort. It is fascinating and an absolute visual delight (the remake with Cage and that sugar cute blonde was an excercise in holidaywood excess).

  Paul,

  I wasn't going to take this any further, but I just watched an old B&W 
  movie - Casablanca (Humphrey Bogart & Ingid Bergman), and in between having 
  my primitive emotional and sexual instincts stirred by Ms Bergman, I kept 
  looking at shots and thinking, if only I could have taken a B&W shot like 
  that. So perhaps there is something of the primitive dark ages in me as 
  well.
