From the Paper:

"There are a lot of tight and difficult camera shots in the film, where the cameraman has to work fast. In other scenes, the wider and expansive pans of open scenery, like at the gypsy camp, creates the sense of place that the director is attempting to convey to the audience in order to support the satirical elements of the film. The close shots are reserved for the emphasis of innocence, in Tommy and Turkish, and the deadliness of Boris, Tony, and Brick Top. Brick Top's yellowed teeth stand out whenever the character is involved in one of his many fast paced diatribes of dialogue."
