The last time I watched a movie shot in greytone was Schindler's List which really got the emotions stired and gave the movie a powerful messege of sadness and anger that we a society let atroscities like the Jewish Holucust happen. SWEETHEART is a 30 minute short for South Africa which looks set in 1950's during the cold war era and been shot in greytone gives this movie scope and helps to enhance the visually stunning Special fx of this movie. District 9 proved South Africa has talented filmmakers and Sweetheart is another fine example and superb example how you can work on a tiny budget and get stunning results.
check out the trailer below:

The late 1950s, and the height of Cold War tension: When her husband and step sons don't return from a routine trip into town, a young housewife finds herself alone in their remote farmhouse. As time passes it becomes clear that they aren't coming back, and with hints of a strange events just over the horizon she must force herself out of an aimless cycle, setting off to find them.sourceQuietearth
What she finds is a seemingly derelict world empty of all but a few dozen "survivors". Unsure who, if anyone, to trust, she must navigate a series of strange encounters to find shocking answers in a world that will reveal
itself to be a marked alternative to what we remember.
