I found that symmetry tends to work best if there's sufficient depth in a shot. If not, it just looks flat. Note the Japanese-Mod decor.
This stylish Japanese film has some beautiful visuals but it's not something you'd want to watch while depressed. The story is about a man who is disfigured in an accident and then sets about to build an identity with a life-like mask. The man is bitter and vindictive and there's lots of dialogue about the soul, appearance and the nature of identity. The vibe is similar to Franju's Eyes Without a Face. The design of the doctor's office is wonderfully surrealistic. There are a lot of clear panels that are used to create richly layered images, like real-life Photoshop composites.
