Set in a small Massachusetts town, this photograph presents an unsettling scene reminiscent of the films of David Lynch or Steven Spielberg.  Though the narrative is ambiguous, the visual tensions that emerge among the central female figure, the car poised in the driveway at left and the older woman seated in her living room to the right, suggest alienation, haunted relationships and a sense of foreboding.

To make such elaborately staged large-scale photographs, Gregory Crewdson works like a film director, leading a production crew which includes a director of photography, special effects and lighting teams, a casting director and actors. Crewdson makes several exposures which he later digitally combines to produce the final image.
