5 Reasons what makes Archies film with Suhana Khan look Retro

 

1. The Retro 80’s Fashion in The Archies Film

 

Remember the school days when we used to have house parties with retro theme? We should show up wearing baggy trousers, lots of floral dresses, a high puff hair style, wet look hair for men and those round framed glasses. This is exactly what The Archies film has got it right. We love the colour of the dresses being worn by Suhana Khan in the trailer – bronze or dark orange. This colour takes us back to the 80’s era.

2. Floral Movie Sets that adds a bit of French Retro to The Archies Film

 

The trailer shows enough to understand the look of the movie backgrounds and sets being used. The wallpapers and their colours used in The Archies film are extremely retro. Although, they are trending in India too for the last few years but when you get to see such interior and backgrounds in a movie like The Archies, we know it is retro. The Archies was an American comic and although, it does not really gel well with the American culture, but it surely gels well with the branding of this movie. We like it!

3. The Colour Filter used in The Archies Film adds Retro effect

 

Surely we all are aware of photo filters, thanks to Instagram. The colour filter used in The Archies Film is absolutely retro and a big contributor in adding the effect of the 70’s and 80’s to the film. But again, it is a combination of the 80’s fashion, retro hairstyles, lots of checks and tweed garments, hats, belly footwear and more, that in totality gives you the reflection of the gone era in The Archies film.

 

 

4. Typography and Branding used in The Archies Film Posters and Promotions

 

Graphic Design is one of the key tools to promote and brand a product beautifully. The fonts and typefaces used in The Archies Film by Netflix are pretty retro but honestly, this must not have been an effort for Netflix production team because they are the same fonts from The Archies Comic. Yet, it is presented beautifully among online and offline promotions.

5. Buntings and Circus set with Buntings in The Archies Film

 

One of our favourite reasons to watch the trailer several times – the decor created using lots of nude blues and pinks with a circus like set-up makes you think of Willy Wonka, The Chocolate Factory movie and if you feel this emotion while watching The Archies Film, definitely you are in the 80’s era within your mind. Netflix has surely nailed this and we give them a high five for this.

Not to forget the feminine bicycles with flowers, as it used to be during our parents generation. Dear Netflix, Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and others (we can’t remember their names or faces), we are looking forward to watch the movie and throw a review on it too.
