Even if I didn't get to see the director's cut due to some technical problems, I discussed it with some of my friends and I carefully read through my peer's blogs.
The setting was discussed pretty thouroughly, as the director chose to portray the scenes with very minimalistic sets that were nonetheless very thought through. Similarities were made between the sets to draw connections between characters and situation, which I find fascinating. Shakespeare always worked with minimalistic sets, so it is interesting to hear that even though not a lot of props were used, there is a lot of thought put into the details of the setting. The sets are always adapted to the level of comfort the characters associate with the setting. This is done to make the audience emphasize with the situation, or alienate them completely and make them feel uncomfortable too. This method of 'empathy' is commonly used in theatre productions, as the audience likes something they see, the moment they can relate it to some emotion they've felt before.
