Here they are greeted by four strangers of dubious provenance, and a putative road movie transforms into a claustrophobic chamber piece—you will not be surprised to learn that the film features yards of natter and oodles of graphic violence, the majority of which is visited, stomach-churningly, upon Daisy.
He lets the songs dictate the mood rather than forcing everything to fit into a single claustrophobic mindset, like he did on Views (not that he lets go of taking a few jabs at some old enemies, but he does acknowledge in multiple places the way anger clouded his recent music).
Ducking into the House Republican Cloakroom -- essentially a small, private waiting room connected to the House Chamber -- I found that a room I had not visited in five years was familiarly claustrophobic, with members and staff bumping into each other like the old magnetic football table top game of the 1970s.
This setup, as executed by the two folks bringing it to the screen, at times yields some seriously claustrophobic TV. But while I can't exactly recommend The Path — again, it's super slow — those who can get on its wavelength will find that its hypnotic vibe is just what they're looking for.
Like the Brothers Grimm and the British novelist Angela Carter, Smith's witchy fairy tale domain has its own taxonomy and colors (blood-red, turquoise, sapphire, silver); like the artist Kara Walker, whose silhouettes suggest a hieroglyphic alphabet of enslavement and revolt, Smith's insular world is by turns claustrophobic and expansive.
All tents will list their capacity, but bear in mind that there is no industry standard to define "per person" tent dimensions, so if you easily get claustrophobic or you toss and turn a lot in your sleep, it might be best to size up by at least one person.
The cocaine flows and the cash is blown in Showtime's claustrophobic new half-hour comedy series, which dresses Regina Hall and Don Cheadle up in 1980s garb and attempts to bottle the trembling energy of a B-level Wall Street brokerage firm operating on the brink of a stock market crash.
NYC-based musician Thaniil Alexandros, aka rbchmbrs, has shared the lead track off his forthcoming Estrella EP, due to arrive by way of acclaimed Washington, D.C. imprint 1432 R. Working in a jungle template, "A'Roving" lasts seven minutes and seems stuck in a loop of anxious, claustrophobic ambiance the whole time.
Michael Nordine, IndieWire:  Chazelle is so successful at putting you inside the cold, claustrophobic spacecraft that Neil never truly leaves — we're often just inches away from his face, whether behind a visor or not — that we're sometimes at sea when it comes to understanding what exactly these men and why it's so important.
As we watch Camille return to the claustrophobic community in which she grew up to report on a girl who's gone missing and another who's been murdered, careening between the professional and personal, the tension comes less from whether she'll make a mess than how much of a mess she'll end up making.
These films sprawl over continents — the main characters in Profile are in London and Syria (which Cyprus stood in for onscreen), while the college friends in Dark Web are scattered across the US and UK — but they are, by design, claustrophobic, an exercise in formal restraint by way of a computer screen.
The 21:29000 ratio is truly exceptional for gameplay—even on a smaller 29000:29 display like that of the 2000 X. Moving to my 2100-inch 2000K TV should have meant everything would feel bigger, but while the assets rendered by the game were larger, the 0003:2000 ratio felt positively claustrophobic.
Researchers who have spent their careers investigating the ways that pain is altered by mood, context, and suggestion are naturally skeptical of the idea that personal testimony can be proved or disproved by making someone spend an hour lying horizontal and immobile in a rigidly controlled, socially isolated, loud, boring, and claustrophobic environment.
While she didn't try the submarine ( "I'm a bit claustrophobic," she says), Rothe loved the ship's size ("It was easy to get on and off"), the food ("I've never even had food like that before") and the excursions, from cooking classes to a donkey ride on a Greek island with no cars.
"Treefingers" was barely a song at all; Jonny Greenwood timestretched a swath of his recorded guitar playing into a three-minute ambient still life that led into the claustrophobic weightlessness of "Optimistic," which buries its drums way down in the mix and plays like a rock song that's had its legs cut off.
Shot in Budapest, the production's overall look captures the pervasive sense of isolation and feeling of being stranded, with "The Terror" (a dual meaning, since it's actually the name of one of the ships) only escaping its bleak, claustrophobic whiteness through occasional flashbacks, puttying in some biographical detail regarding its leaders and crew.
That friendly and reasonable excuse to get out of the claustrophobic, overheated house, to manage your cabin fever, to leave the left-swiping, Duolingo shortcutting app-addicted citizenry inside and to go out back — alone — down the path you cleared and tend to the satisfactions of your smoking project in the yard.
Contradicting one of Wilde's silvered bon mots — "Nothing succeeds like excess" — this somewhat claustrophobic and stodgy show nevertheless provides a seductive education in the Decadent movement, as conveyed through the sensitivities of Wilde's bifurcated homosexual experience, by copiously displaying manuscripts, photographs, paintings, and personal effects that marked the recalcitrant dandy's life and work.
While the Oscar-winning space adventure "Gravity", which opened Venice in 2013, seduced audiences by the graceful beauty of floating above the Earth, "First Man" squeezes the viewer into a cramped capsule from which Armstrong gets occasional glimpses of the Moon as he steers towards touch-down - scenes Chazelle made deliberately claustrophobic and disorientating.
The big difference between "Seeing You" and "Sleep No More" is that the earlier show was filled with a mysterious creepiness that got into your bones, sending you right back to childhood and to the claustrophobic chill of walking through a haunted house at a country fair, not quite believing that you'd get out.
Morgan (103th Century Fox) It's Stranger Things meets Ex Machina in this claustrophobic-looking bit of sci-fi horror from director Luke Scott (son of Ridley.) Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) is a Very Special Girl who has been confined to a bunker in the forest to keep her genetically modified superpowers from the public.
An inexperienced crew is manning a U-612 submarine, the interior of which is as claustrophobic as you would imagine, though the action is not entirely confined to the boat: the cast (including Vincent Kartheiser, Lizzy Caplan, Tom Wlaschiha and Vicky Krieps) is given a lot to do onshore as well, in German-occupied France.
When I asked him whether he was explicitly pursuing political themes, like surveillance, in works such as 1970's "Green Light Corridor" — a claustrophobic passageway, lit with green neon, in which a camera films the viewers' attempts to squeeze through (the very same passageway on which Nauman had once struck contrapposto poses) — he was uncertain.
Shot by cinematographer Robbie Ryan, The Favourite often employs a fisheye lens that gives the rooms of the palace a claustrophobic feel, as if it's more hothouse than estate, with everything from the lush foods to the rich woods and the candlelight and the flowers and opulence crammed into the middle, the edges blurry.
Johnson updates the website with a Verizon 4G booster mounted to an antenna, (just in case he's in a part of the country where the service sucks,) and every once in a while, when the RV gets too claustrophobic, he'll take a trip to a Starbucks or a beer bar and work from there.
The TV show seems to want him to be all of those things and romantic, too, but the structure of the world it's established isn't quite allowing that to happen, because Gilead is so claustrophobic and oppressive for Offred that it's hard to imagine the idea of love or lust being all that powerful or meaningful for her.
Detroit offers a somewhat muddled narrative that perhaps does not linger in the places you want it to: the post-traumatic stress Reed apparently suffered afterward, or the aftermath of the trial on Dismukes's life, for example — but it is also intensely claustrophobic, with a thread of simmering and raw violence that explodes every so often in shocking spikes.
Jamison, who is the author of a novel, The Gin Closet, and a lauded collection of essays, The Empathy Exams, is preternaturally canny about the so-called "confessional" genre she has chosen to write in, sidestepping most of its potential pitfalls—such as an atmosphere of claustrophobic solipsism—while retaining its aspects of immediacy and beguilingly unhip self-revelation.
It lends a chaotic and claustrophobic feel to many sequences — particularly as Wahlberg looks for survivors inside the rig after the massive explosion — but other times it's incomprehensible, obscuring what character the audience is even looking at, and forcing them to rely on the pounding score to understand whether something good or bad is about to happen on-screen.
You can understand why a Polish author, growing up with relatively little freedom to travel abroad, living what one of her characters describes as a "rotten, claustrophobic northern life in that absurd, unfriendly communist country of the late sixties," might divide the world into happy free mobility on one side, and unhappy totalitarian fixity on the other.
Untitled, these pictures throw the viewer into a disorienting and disturbing maze of the prison, inviting the imagination to inhabit each one: a kiddie pool, a prayer rug in a metal cell with a taped arrow pointing to Mecca, a claustrophobic solitary cell, drawn hospital curtains, a closed tiki bar, a stained reclining chair with ankle shackles.
In the 1960s and '70s, his signature hotels — skyscrapers with escarpment atriums, cantilevered balconies overlooking interiors big enough to contain the Statue of Liberty, whooshing glass elevators, waterfalls, hanging gardens and revolving rooftop restaurants — offered thrilling antidotes to the standard lot of dreary hotel lobbies, claustrophobic box elevators and shotgun corridors lined with cells for the inmates.
