Synopsis
"Chromophobia" (2006) is a British-French drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Martha Fiennes and starring Ralph Fiennes, Penélope Cruz, Kristin Scott Thomas and Damian Lewis.
A reporter is told by his editor to find stories that sell. He finds one in the private life of a former friend. That decision sets off a slow collision involving several characters who seem to have nothing in common — different incomes, different routines, different stories they tell themselves. Ian Holm, Rhys Ifans and Ben Chaplin fill out the ensemble in a film that stays controlled even as things quietly fall apart around the edges.
The title refers to a fear of colour — in the film's logic, a fear of anything vivid or unguarded. At 136 minutes it moves deliberately and never reaches for an easy resolution. The performances are what carry it. Stream "Chromophobia" (2006) on iFILM.
