Hard Candy scene

Here's a cool scene from the film 'Hard Candy' directed by David Slade. The film as a whole, has lots of artistic qualities, involving different uses of light. I find this film experiments widely with lighting. This scene uses silhouette:

The silhouette has a bold and strong quality. It appears sharp against the wide span of background. A very successful use of natural light.

It's a great scene because the use of silhouette allows the audience to observe the raw body language of the two characters. Then eventually read and portray the thoughts and emotions involved in the scene.
