Directing style

Soavi builds a tense, ominous atmosphere by staging intimate closeups and medium shots at eye level, isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field. His visual world is primarily nocturnal and interior-focused, illuminated by practical sources, windows, and fluorescent fixtures that cut through the darkness. The color palette leans heavily toward cool, desaturated tones, dominated by slate grays, muted blues, and earthy, shadow-drenched neutrals that evoke a pervasive sense of loneliness.
