I'm a film student working on my thesis about the role of production design in world-building, specifically how sets and props can convey a character's psychology or a society's history without exposition. I'm analyzing films like Blade Runner and Parasite, but I want to explore beyond the most cited examples. For those in the industry or with deep knowledge of film craft, what are some other films where the production design is not just a backdrop but a fundamental, active narrative force, and what specific techniques did the designers use to achieve that?
