Directing style
Shinji Higuchi constructs a tense, oppressive atmosphere through low-angle compositions and expansive wide shots that emphasize scale and vulnerability. Utilizing deep depth of field across both daytime exteriors and fluorescent-lit interiors, his framing maintains sharp clarity from foreground elements to distant horizons. The visual palette leans heavily into cool, desaturated tones, dominated by industrial grays, muted slates, and deep charcoal, accented by sharp punctures of vivid crimson.
