divin cinematography

The scene that most interests me is the scene at the end of the film as he dies. I am fascinated that the camera stays still, but characters are framed differently. Like his wife is in a close-up with half of her face cut off. While his ex-wife is in the frame. It is also interesting how this scene is lit completely differently than the other scenes. It is very white. I also like how the shots used are often very short. The wife if cut up into a few shots with her framed in different spot each time. When a character moves to or away from the bed they are cut into different shots to move over. I think it does an excellent job of shifting to Jean-do's death and ending the film.
