Directing style
Bertrand Mandico’s fantasy and science fiction worlds are defined by a high-contrast, black-and-white aesthetic that frequently shifts into cool, desaturated tones, using a palette of earthy greens, muted browns, and pops of sulfur yellow. He favors eye-level medium shots and closeups captured with a shallow depth of field, framing characters intimately within dark, exterior night settings. The lighting is heavily reliant on practical sources and neon, supplemented by firelight and low-key sun, which together cultivate a tense, ominous, and deeply mysterious atmosphere.
