After releasing in theaters back in February, the black & white version of Guillermo del Toro‘s Oscar-nominated Nightmare Alley is now coming home to Hulu this month, we’ve learned.
Dubbed Nightmare Alley: A Vision in Darkness & Light, the black & white version of del Toro’s latest movie will be available for streaming on Hulu beginning April 25, 2022.
“Although we shot Nightmare Alley in color, we lit it as if it were black and white,” said del Toro. “You can see exactly the same level of design, and we wanted to give viewers this special vantage as a take of the classic noir genre that the film is part of.”
Director of Photography Dan Laustsen explained, “When we designed and shot, we were always thinking color and black and white. The classic lighting I have used is an homage to all the incredible masters of cinematography who have inspired me.”
Meagan wrote in her review for BD, “Nightmare Alley offers psychological thrills in a profoundly haunting and intricately woven rumination on society’s dark underbelly, on the pursuit of success and damnation that might lurk at the end.” Meagan goes on to write, “It’s not the filmmaker’s strongest effort, yet it’s still a soaring spectacle that casts a spell.”
Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen, and David Strathairn star in Nightmare Alley.
In the film…
“An ambitious young carny (Cooper) with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words hooks up with a female psychiatrist (Blanchett) who is even more dangerous than he is.”
The movie adapts the novel by William Lindsay Gresham.
