Lars Von Trier - 1996
Use of a moving non-mounted camera. Flying around enough to make you seasick, whip pans and so on. Usually pretty close to the faces. Shots are of a decent length. Cutting in the middle of a blurred movement in an elliptical manner ('Festen'). Film to video to film deep washout. Murky areas and video-ish contrast. Use of 'beautiful' shots, long shots and takes, as chapter-bindings with heavy colour saturation.
Interesting themes explored here. Well done, but Von Trier about as subtle as a hacksaw. Toned down, could express wonderfully. Worry of a certain condenscion to the characters, but they really are looked upon nicely as it develops.
