Nuit Noire is a film which sailed completely under most people's radars when it first came out. Thankfully I am hearing it mentioned more and more as years go on.
Surreal imagery and shadowy compositions are the crux of the visuals. The closest comparison I can think of is David Lynch's
Eraserhead (which will certainly be featured at some point). There is also some remarkable macro-photography of insects and and very bright, saturated colours contrasted with muted brown tones.
Top 3:

| So much to love here. The dirty, muted colour palette complements the giant cocoon perfectly. Light plays around the room from various sources, granting the frame a wonderful chiaroscuro look. The image itself is very surreal and memorable. |
 |
| More chiaroscuro lighting and weird imagery. Symmetry can often appear forced, but it adds to the unnerving feel of this shot. |
 |
| I find macro-photography interesting in general. This really brings out the highly saturated colours on the insect and captures its fascinating features. |
The rest:
 |
| Creepy imagery. |
 |
| Gorgeous lighting. |
 |
| Reminds me of the tunnel scene from Tarkovsky's Stalker |
 |
| Great contrast of colours. |
 |
| Fascinating nightmarish shot. |
 |
| Mmm... odd perspective on stairs. |
 |
| The overexposure creates a massive contrast between this and the other shots. |
