Visual Style and Atmosphere
Visually, this Lulu is a triumph. Kaurismäki opts for a neo-noir aesthetic, utilizing cramped interiors and cold, urban landscapes that emphasize the protagonist’s isolation. The camera work is voyeuristic, often trapping Lulu in doorways or reflections, reinforcing the idea that she is always an object to be looked at, never a subject with true agency.
