Ingmar Bergman - 1958
There is a very special kind of grimness about bad Bergman... anyway, without Sven Nykvist here, we have blank rooms, though without the interest of overexposure, of a complete lack of shadows and just some quite hard lighting for our usual close-ups, none of which are really sustained.
The camera cracks about the room without respecting any particular lines, usually cutting in rather than panning or tracking. The tone is a pretty relentless unimportant gloom, and deeply predictable.
