Absolutely, a set is the silent prelude that tells you everything before a single line. The careful placement of furniture, the choice of texture, even the way light falls across a marble floor – all of it whispers the story’s subtext. In a grand film, the set is like the architecture of a sentence: it structures the narrative, sets the rhythm, and lets you see the symmetry even before the dialogue begins. If a set doesn’t carry that weight, the film feels like a shell without a core.
