Nice! I am really interested in this aspect of the film.

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

Amazing. Symmetry of lines. No wonder my photography friend likes thes still looking parts of the film.
Låt den rätte komma in in both its printed and celluloid form is a slow acting poison. You will be poisoned white. White from arsenic and innocence.

I have been taught (as I'm sure many others have) in art books and classes and at film school, that something that is presented in a non-symmetrical fashion is more pleasing to the eye than something symmetrical. The usual example is a set of train tracks receding to the horizon. Going directly from you straight to the flat horizon = boring - but having them come from bottom left of a frame, across to the horizon on the upper right = interesting.
I think we've all been staring at this kind of thinking for so long that when someone goes against the normal, like Hoyt Hoytema has done here, on some level the mind just does a double-take "say what?!" kind of thing.
