In-depth analysis of the film. |
| Synopsis |
Very well-written, almost academic piece that focuses on both the narrative as well as the technical components of the film. The writer pays a lot of attention to the use of lighting and the cinematography by Peter Biziou, and compares the lighting to the kind you'd expect to see in a film noir. The piece talks about how the use of lighting in the film "plays off our dependence on and loathing of TV", and makes comparisons to films like The Shining, American Gigolo, Fargo and Trainspotting. |
