The film is ambitious in its visual style as well as its narrative structure, with rich, dark cinematography (by Rachel Morrison) and detailed production design (by David J. Bomba) that convey the weight of history. Though it was shot in wide-screen and features plenty of landscape shots, the predominant feeling is one of confinement—the interiors are generally cramped and overstuffed, and the social codes, which determine much of the onscreen behavior, are inflexible.
