 The one-room setting of Ibsen's original is a deliberate device suggestive of Nora's isolation and her imprisonment within her marriage.In the film, however, multiple locations outside the Helmer house are used for visual explication, and to lend dramatic emphasis to plot points.Even within the house, the camera moves from room to room, revealing not just the physical comforts of their home but also its confining nature – its "deadly insularity".
