Little Children:

A film that has really influenced me, which I only saw quite recently would have to be 'Little Children'. The cinematography is incredible and well sustained. Even though the storyline is rather disturbing and the film does seem to end rather abruptly; the variety of camera angles and especially the lighting and editing (in this particular scene) is so influential.

The smoothness of the shots is successful and the use of narrative throughout the film creates such an eerie and performative quality.
