The characters seem at times to be acting for the benefit of the others on screen rather than "us", the audience, lending a quality of voyeurism to quite a few scenes. getting a scene covered from multiple and sometimes meaningless camera angles just so the director and editor have something to work with in post production. I also couldn't help but notice all the long camera takes this film had, reminding me of a few Woody Allen films that let the actors act without the intrusion of the film making process, i.e.
Cinematography legend Greg Toland of Citizen Kane and The Grapes of Wrath fame would be proud of what this film accomplished artistically. Director of Photography Eduardo Serra's execution is subtle, understated and absolutely beautiful. A quiet sense of wonder permeated each and every scene, accomplished with some of the finest cinematography I've seen in the last couple of years.
Unbreakable was the cinematic experience I had hoped it would be, especially after The Sixth Sense. Night Shyamalan seems to be proving himself quite the auteur.
