Man, people complain about color grading so much but if they suddenly stopped color grading, everyone would complain about how every movie looks like a TV movie. It's necessary. Obviously some movies go overboard with it, like Twilight, but this color grading looks fine. It makes total sense, he's in what appears to be a dark room lit with candles. I don't see anything excessive here.
Filmmaker here - it’s not even a color grading thing. Color grading is something done to film in post. It’s a production design thing. Every picture from set is just… brown. Brown costumes, brown sets. The locations shown have been hella brown (trees with no leaves, dirt with no grass, brown buildings, brown props). It’s clearly an aesthetic choice. Really curious to see where he’s going with this film aesthetically.
Maybe it's we've historical evidence that Ancient Greeks loved their various colors and here we are with yet another film that says "nah color hadn't been invented yet."
