Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 4:3 aspect ratio isn't retro affectation—it mirrors the view through a taxidermist's specimen box, literalizing how Sylvie frames her world.
Oz's aggressive American optimism crashing against Sylvie's inherited French melancholia recycles vintage horror tropes (think: Leslie Stevens' 'Incubus') for contemporary gender dynamics.
