What is the one thing that all the shots in any film have in common?
It is not color, it is not sound, it is not even the presence of characters. And sometimes a shot can be completely black.
In fact, the only feature that is common to all the shots is something that is strictly kept out of the frame.
A point of view.
The cinema of Masaaki Yuasa is created around one question: how do you stage a point of view?
