Important colors show through like red for blood, or a car, or sky and eye colors. The movie is done in more than one style and is mostly black and white, but highly stylized. The main reason is because Rodriguez wanted to show him how to shoot digitally.

Quentin Tarantino directed one scene as a special guest. It works so well because Rodriguez is such a big fan of Miller’s work. I think it might be one of the best screen translations of a book ever. It’s impressive how true to the source material this movie is. The visual style is great and stays faithful to the books and almost all of the dialogue is quoted word for word from the books as well. He gives it his trademark style, but keeps it feeling like Sin City and not “The Robert Rodriguez version of Sin City”. Robert Rodriguez is the man behind the movie and is my second favorite director of all time. I really like the visual style and the narrative is always interesting. Now I have actually read a couple and they are good. I saw the movie before I had ever read any of the books. Miller is most famous for Sin City but has done other stories like The Dark Knight Returns, 300 and Hard Boiled (unrelated to the John Woo film). Sin City is based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Artist Frank Miller.
