I like the lighting in this film


I guess with so much of the film being a few blokes in mini-submarines trying to be as quiet as possible they had to convey the drama in some way - so they focused (no pun intended) on character studies of the individual actors in small compositions of light. Perhaps it would only work in a black and white film but I liked it. I think the individual frames would look perfectly in place at a photographic exhibition.
