Directing style
Lynne Ramsay’s visual style relies on shallow depth of field to isolate characters in tight, interior spaces, favoring medium shots and closeups captured at a steady eye-level. Her lighting setups utilize naturalistic sources like direct sun, windows, and overhead fluorescents to cast a lonely, tense atmosphere across mostly daytime settings. The color palette leans heavily into cool, desaturated tones, balancing muted greens, grays, and deep slate blues with occasional, sharp accents of warm gold.
