Unnerving soundtracks, oblique camera angles, quick-cut montage editing, repetition, anxiety, paranoia are hallmark elements of Aida Ruilova's works.
Ruilova explores topics that have a psychological component, placing her protagonists in claustrophobic settings to create an uneasiness in viewers. Her characters seem to lack control over their situations imbuing them with an air of insanity and sexual charge.
