He also focues on the means of exchange: commercial exchange, linguistic exchange and sexual exchange.

Aesthetically speaking, the use of close-ups : close-up of objects (coffee, cigarette) and of women's faces. Also the whispering narrative, which creates a sense of intimacy and requires the audience's full attention.
