A tall man in a turtleneck stands on a decrepit wooden jetty at dusk, staring down into the dark water of a lake. 1970s film still.

A man stands alone at the edge of a dilapidated jetty, his purpose unclear. This frame embodies the 1970s psychological thriller with its unsettlingly asymmetric composition and low-key lighting. The muted, blue-green palette and soft contrast are authentic hallmarks of the Kodak Eastman 5247 film stock on which it was rendered, a favorite of the era's art-house directors.
