One of the most creative, rich and beautiful production design that I have ever seen in a movie. For me it is one of the best, not only among this year's movies, but in general. I was blown away at the cinema.
The only two movie's production designs that maybe can compare are those of the shape of water and mad Max fury road.

I wonder if photographer they mention was Tim Walker, with his surrealist sense of humor, practical effects, curious sets and more recent fondness for extreme wide angles

I love this creative process as described, but you can't tell me they didn't play with some mid journey AI AT LEAST in the brainstorming phase. The vibes are so strong. But I Guess that would be the best use, even if I do feel we should be able to brainstorm without it

Given this film's setting, and how they made Emma Stone look, she looks like she'd be a great fit to portray American Mcgee's Alice in the upcoming (allegedly) TV adaptation!

It was probably AI art like Sora or Midjourney totally fake
