What is Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause about, and how do the costumes in the film help to tell that story?
Issues to consider as you formulate your paper may include: what information do different costumes convey to us?; how do certain costumes reflect the state of mind of a character in the film?; how are costumes tied in to narrative themes?; how do different characters’ costumes contrast (or find similarity) with each other?; and how is color used expressively. Provide specific examples and be as precise as possible.
