Federico Fellini - 1986
Fellini seems to actually be using two shots more, here, at the tail end of his career. Among the gaudy colours and tubing of the TV sets, and unnatural lights coming through windows.
The emotional effect here is really from how nasty the world they are in is, there is that kind of solemn dignity about their wish, their lives (though I've now established I have a problem with Massina's acting). Fellini, for me, is far too accomodating of the hellish world of TV, seeing it as more gaudy and silly than completely vile and evil.
