Promising Young Woman
That meant using bold hues to portray an emboldened Cassie, the film’s protagonist, played by Carey Mulligan, who drops out of med school and spends nights seeking revenge on would-be rapists following an attack on her friend. Perry introduced warm colors in not-so-safe spaces to make them less menacing to viewers.
For Cassie’s house, Perry found a place in Los Angeles that he describes as being “trapped in time.” In one scene, Cassie brings her date over for dinner, and the table has a plastic cover that looks like “a 1950s version of American life.” Paintings of dogs on the wall added to the film’s off-kilter narrative. The layout of the house was also key to reflecting Cassie’s state of mind.
The designer planned to have a scene that’s set at a cabin in the woods look warm and nature-like, so he decorated it in plaid with earth tones. “I didn’t want to give away where we are going with the movie — it’s like the honeymoon cottage,” he says. But the cabin is far from a romantic spot, so the cozy atmosphere gets turned on its head.
