In ‘The Third Day’, Benjamin Kračun’s camerawork is so zoomed in and invasive at times that it creates a sense of claustrophobia. As we are following an unreliable narrator like Sam (Jude Law), this ultra-focus on his perpetual bewilderment adds to the complexity of the plot. In part 1 episode 2, titled ‘Saturday – The Son’, Sam is still on the island, and his visions are becoming even more vivid and tangible. About halfway into the episode, he gets an opportunity to leave the island, but instead of doing that, he comes right back, drawn back in by everything that Osea promises to him.
