Directing style
Iñárritu constructs a tense, lonely atmosphere by pairing a cool, desaturated color grade of deep teals, slate grays, and muted earth tones with a predominantly shallow depth of field that isolates subjects. He favors eye-level camera angles, frequently framing characters in medium shots and closeups that rely on naturalistic lighting sources like the sun, windows, and practicals. This grounded, intimate blocking is balanced by wide shots and establishing setups, maintaining a visceral, observational perspective across both day and night settings.
