If I remember correctly (film school was a long time ago) here are some reasons why CK is a primo film:
- creative chiaroscuro lighting and lots of shadows...
- dissolves and wipes used in a film
- low angles that showed the ceilings of sets (not very common back then, often sets had no ceilings at all)
- non-linear storyline
- overlapping dialogue
- deep focus shots
- characters aging in a film with the use of make-up
- long takes that lingered without cuts
- special effect shots (ie the camera going through the club sign)
These are some I remember. These techniques were not commonly used back then and rarely used together in the same film.
