his loved ones is often associated with cutaway shots depicting solitary animals. For example, in the beginning, as Trudi is describing Rudi’s aversion for change and life—much like Isak Bork in “Wild Strawberries” --an establishing shot shows a feral cat slowly walking down an empty street in their town which is immediately mirrored by Rudi taking the same solitary path to work.
