- Abstract
Befitting such a towering figure of twentieth-century American culture, Sidney Poitier's death in January of this year occasioned an outpouring of both sadness and celebration. The intensity of the film's lighting, and the skill of cinematographer James Laxton, are nowhere better exemplified than in the beauty of I Moonlight i 's dominant color palette of a purple-blue-blackness that suffuses the film. Damien Chazelle, 2016) was initially announced as winner of the Academy Award for best picture, an inadvertently symbolic moment, perhaps, of White Hollywood's reluctance to cede its assumed right of power to a Black film, no matter how extraordinary that film might be.
