The description here is made engrossing as it’s written from the perspective of the main character. In this case, that’s a naive little Nazi boy, Jojo.

Rather than seeing A GIRL at first, Jojo sees A SKINNY PALE CREATURE, which piques our curiosity as readers. The point is that the description isn’t omniscient. We’re learning and feeling (including fear and intrigue) with the character.

Like Black Panther, significant images and actions are capitalized for emphasis. Also, notice how Waititi leaves visual breadcrumbs to create a suspenseful sequence, i.e. - “a candle, bedding, a plate, a fork…”
