1973 Nicolas Roeg
Clearly very influential, on Lynch etc
use of camera to flick against the actors
always movement either by camera or in frame
constant reframings, taking little bits of the person, from close by. Claustrophobic
use of variety of soundtracks, confusions
Enhanced by use of dark palates, frequent low key on face, backlighting
mixture of out of focus with telephoto, and a bit of wide angled distortion
narrative crosscutting led to associational montage, well restrained
use of red to draw eye, erotic tension, frequently in frame
whole first half brings up a great atmosphere
story sags slightly, suggesting it is a stylistic exercise early on
acting is very good, sexual politics of male P.O.V.
still, a very impressive film
