A vibrant series of images featuring local farmers set against lush green foliage is one of the striking contrasts that has become a key visual direction for the film ‘The Paradise of Thorns.’ This direction was shaped through extensive research and collaboration by every team involved, including the director, art team, stylists, cinematographer, and colorists.
"When we decided to make a movie about durian farmers, we started by researching the landscape of durian orchards. Typically, the climate in Thailand is warm, so we anchored the film’s palette in green, representing the trees and foliage. Then, we thought about what would happen when people were added to these scenes. As each team did their homework, we all ended up on the same page—Thai people love vibrant, secondary colors like pink, purple, orange, and green. From there, we pulled all these ideas together and created a standardized color palette that shaped everything from our location choices to the wardrobe. We like to call it the 'Thai Color Palette.’ shared Director Naruebet ‘Boss’ Kuno.
“We hope everyone who watches the film can feel the vibrant colors of local life, the essence of being Thai, and the stories that unfold here in Thailand. Our goal is to share this unique Thai identity in a way that speaks to audiences around the world,” Boss Kuno added. from GDH's LinkedIn
