The Story of 90 Coins is made for those who have loved and lost. The story is simple but what elevates this short film is the aesthetic quality of its cinematography. Colour grading is crisp and beautifully balanced. The liberal use of shallow depth of field creating bokeh effects greatly enhances the romantic mood to showcase the pair of attractive lead actors. Who knew heartbreak could look this beautiful?
The gorgeous visuals also add an element of wishfulness to the narrative. Much of what we see comprises of flashbacks. Memories of a lost love and missed opportunities are invariably tinged with melancholy and sentimentality, which is why I think this style of filming works best in this instance. Kudos to the director, DoP and team.
