ABOUT THIS FILM
Rain and stone provide a physical vocabulary for the film’s historical and social themes. The hard monochrome palette makes this a useful reference for an atmospheric city brief. ABOVE THE WEATHER provides a contrasting approach to the city through color, water and impossible scale.
