#WhenNightIsFalling 3/3
Petra and Camille are connected by spinning R-L even though everything else changes; stark black&white to saturated colour, outside to inside, directly up to directly down, free versus repressed (as Camille is immediately interrupted by her fiancee), etc.

The scene cuts to a direct-downward shot not of Petra, but the object of Petra’s affections and current dizzy thoughts, Camille.

Camille spinning the same direction as the electrical towers directly connects Petra and Camille across scenes even tho . . .
