The lighting in this scene suggests who is the antagonist and who is the protagonist, and represents the danger within the narrative. This is done by placing the key light on Bond, which clearly shows off his muscular physique. It also brings to our attention that he is sweating and naked, which tells us that he is nervous and vulnerable. This is however contradicted by James Bond's body language, which despite him being tortured at the time, remains strong and he manages to keep his back straight to stand up to his oppressor which reflects his tough character and will.
The antagonist is shrouded in darkness, due to the low key lighting of the scene. This emphasises the dark nature of the antagonist's character, and the acts he is about to carry out.
Furthermore, the back lighting suggests that not all hope is lost for Bond, as help may be on it's way to save him, or he might escape himself and see the light of day once again.
