What is The Crucible about?

A Salem resident attempts to frame her ex-lover's wife for being a witch in the middle of the 1692 witchcraft trials.

The Crucible is a 1996 American historical drama film directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by Arthur Miller, based on his 1953 play. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis as John Proctor, Winona Ryder as Abigail Williams, Paul Scofield in his final live-action film role as Judge Thomas Danforth, Joan Allen as Elizabeth Proctor, and Bruce Davison as Reverend Samuel Parris.

What does the cinematography of The Crucible look like?

Sampled across 36 frames, the coverage of The Crucible leans on medium shots and full-body frames. Cinematographer Andrew Dunn keeps much of it in soft, low-key light. Night and dusk account for much of the film. Vintage glass shapes the frame, over a texture recalling VHS. Focus stays shallow in most of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings.
