absurd allow becomes best bit cannot central conducive cut environment exactly full garner happens intensity intimacy mystery narrative order pivotal remains reveals scene shot single sustained thus using
This scene is done using a single sustained mastershot in order to allow the actors the most conducive environment for intimacy and intensity and in order to best communicate what happens in the film's pivotal scene.
