The visual design concept for Dialogues of the Carmelites is minimalism. This story of faith is told with minimalistic scenery. The lighting design approaches the visual through an expressionistic aesthetics. The design focuses primarily on the atmosphere of scenes and the expression of the character emotions. The consideration for the objective time of day and locations are secondary elements visually.
