The film mainly borrows its aesthetics from 1930s-1940s film noir and melodrama: to build tension through the craft of narrative filmmaking (with all its conventions regarding the uses of cinematography, art direction and blocking) without succumbing to its tendency to gravitate towards an ultimate, humanistic meaning. Desires float, suspend and frustrate themselves without generating any obvious emotional climax.
