Directors Comments
- Many characters loom at their reflections
through; mirrors, cameras and windows.
- Motif throughout the film, people
being trapped in glass or frames.
- When characters are alone
they become unselfconscious.
- The light exposes a
characters emotion.
- Red lighting is forever present. It
signifies love, passion and death.
- Nudity is extreme vulnerability.
- Lester has a cycle of fatherhood. He looses it in the beginning
of the film with Jane, but finds it at the end with Angela
- There is no definition of true beauty.
