THE PIANIST by Roman Polanski is really really one of my loved films
There are many good uses of lights we can see
Here is a represented scene
From the shadow on the ground we can see that the sun is on the opposite of the main character, and also we can see the light reflect strongly on the ground and main character’s shoulder. Normally, from our experience, people or objects under strong sunlight will create strong shadow, in other words, it’s hard. However, the shadow on this scene is not strong, we can see many details not only their faces but other parts. There is another interesting point that in this film scene, only the main character faces to the camera, the audience. Mass and chaos background, and lonely main character, here is the high contrast!!
