Directing style
Allen’s cinematography favors an objective, eye-level perspective that relies heavily on medium and wide shots to capture character interactions within interior spaces. The visual atmosphere is shaped by a split between high-contrast black-and-white and a warm, earthy color palette dominated by deep mahogany, terracotta, and dark brown tones. Lighting is grounded in realism, utilizing practical fixtures, windows, and nocturnal sources to illuminate scenes that balance shallow and deep focus.
