It’s no secret that the films of Denis Villeneuve are visually striking. While his films are all jam-packed with memorable imagery, something that always stands out to me is the auteur’s use of shallow focus.
This aesthetic is by no means unique to Villeneuve and just about every film will feature at least a few shots with a shallow depth of field. However, the way in which Villeneuve utilizes shallow focus is rather unique.
