It was a visual feast for the eyes at the same time. Everything is uniform, and everything is monochrome in a sense. I loved it. It felt as if I were watching a film come to life before my eyes. It was beautifully done. It was so stripped down that you are forced to focus on the details in the performances—how it should be, I say.
