Cinematography & Visual Aesthetic
Inspired by the cinematography of J. Campion's The Piano and the western touch of Alan Parker's Mississippi Burning, we oscillate between meditations on the inner states of our characters and wide shots of the landscapes they inhabit.
The contrast between hierarchical Judeo-Christian society and the uncontrolled nature it seeks to dominate is explored in a film like Martin Scorsese's Silence. Other references include Verena Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor's Leviathan, Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse and the reimagined treatment of the western genre in Rodrigo Sorogoyen's As Bestas.
