Still, his behavior during awards season was reminiscent of the video-set collision between church architecture and large breasts. It seemed a little forced.

Delli Colli gave a distinct look to every film he worked on--choosing supersaturated hues for Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and unadorned black and white for his collaboration with Pier Paolo Pasolini on The Gospel According to St. Matthew.
