Directing style

Natali constructs claustrophobic, tense psychological spaces by confining his characters to interior night settings, utilizing a shallow depth of field to isolate subjects in medium shots and closeups. He favors eye-level framing lit by harsh practicals, fluorescent tubes, and the cold glow of screens, which reinforces a sense of lonely confinement. This clinical atmosphere is rendered through a dominantly cool, desaturated color grade punctuated by sickly greens, deep teal-blues, and bruised, earthy reds.
