In the dimly lit interior of a crumbling mental institution, a worn-out theologian attempts to calm the chaos. The framing is tight, emphasizing the claustrophobic space and the chaos within. Dirty, peeling paint on the walls introduces muted tones of white and gray, only disrupted by occasional intense colors from the patients’ clothes. The depth in the scene is conveyed through the layers of disturbed individuals, some in sharp focus near the front, others just blurred figures in the background, adding to the feeling of confusion. From a high angle, the camera peers down on the scene, giving a sense of vulnerability to the theologian as he struggles to bring order. The shot is quite static but for the jolting, unpredictable movement of the institution’s habitants. The balance in the shot tips towards disorder as the subject placement favours the mass of patients over the beleaguered theologian.
