Choice Colors
These are more examples of the use of limited color palette in Children of Men.


The strategy is the usual approach. Limit the colors that appear in front of the camera. Then, at the DI stage the task is merely to adjust saturation, finer shifts in color, and of course, gamma.
Compositionally, the work is quite classical. The lighting in Children of Men is also usually very conventional, and appropriately so. There are loads of great acting and production design in this film and the cinematography avoids getting in the way.

the textures within these images is something that reminds of tarkovsky films. ... that gritty urban minimilist style.
i might have to watch this film to fully understand your comments.
I'm not clear on what you mean by "textures," and I'm no expert on Tarkovsky, but I agree with you. His films often feature cool and drab color palettes.
What does really mean to be "gritty," or "minimalist?"
