An interview with cinematographer Dan Laustsen and director Blitz Bazawule is presented, discussing their collaboration on the musical-feature adaptation of "The Color Purple." When asked about their approach to visual style, Laustsen emphasizes the decision to break away from a faded period look and embrace a colorful reality, with a focus on expressive lighting and bold creative choices to capture Celie's journey in a fresh and vibrant manner.
