"Sniper Phone Booth"

In terms of space, the film is actually extremely limited, and it always revolves around the phone booth. But the film's foothold is obviously to reflect the depth of the psychological space from the narrow physical space. The film's dramatic meaning is strong, and the director almost gave up the richness of the film's spatial layers brought about by the transformation of multiple scenes. However, the limitations brought by the lens frame have another deep meaning. The impression given by all these images is a lingering sense of suffocation and tension, just like the spiritual cage of the male protagonist. Although there is no bloody scene in the film, the anxiety and uneasy emotions that follow from the beginning to the end seem to penetrate the audience's heart through a simple lens, and the dialogue with the gangster actually implies a desperate struggle with the hypocritical side of his heart.
