The eye light - or, catch light - is a very subtle tool that can work well in particular situations. Here, we look at a dark scene, lit from such an angle that we can't really see the eyes. This gives us the freedom to play around with eye light, and see how it changes the way we perceive a character.
This is just one aspect of what can contribute toward a cinematic feeling - check out the other episodes in the Lighting for Cinema A - Z series to learn more about what makes cinema feel a certain way:
