Typography is used in the film to illustrate emotions, enhance particular words and personal characterisitics:
1> emotions - a jarred, ambiguous type is used to convey the fear and confusion in the womens voice.
2> enhance particular words - the most important words are bigger to illustrate his tone of voice.
3> personal charcteristics - there is a fuzzy halo around the words that i think demonstrate the mind of an old person and also as a conotation to religion and faith.
A variety of typefaces are also used to convey different people and different social situations. The positioning of the words also relate to the pace of the scenes and the words that are being said.

A classic for the future? YES or NO
I will have to watch this film. I remember seeing an article in a magazine the other day, I think it was Creative Review but I have just been looking for it and can't find it so can't confirm. But it was about how bad the typography in films generally is. It seems they have finally done something about it. I wonder if this will set a trend for further generations of world cinema.
I do have my reservations about it though. Sometimes isn't it better to have understated subtitles so as not to distract from the picture itself? Actions speak louder than words and all that.
