Ozark

2017Cold & ClinicalDesaturated & Gritty

The Cinematography

Ozarks visual identity is defined by aggressive desaturation and a cold blue-green cast that became iconic. The cinematographers built a look around the Missouri Ozarks that makes even summer feel like perpetual overcast twilight. Warmth has been removed: skin tones lean grey-green, reds are muted to near-brown. For Fujifilm, Eterna is the natural base.
