What exactly do you mean about "more imaginatively shot" I'm curious?
I just saw NbyNW as more at least creative in it's shooting. The scenes you mentioned would be the signatures of that. It is just stark and gritty. The camera makes the statement.
If you wanted to name the most compelling sequence in Thief, seems it would have to be the chase scenes on the Grand Corniche, but those are just exceptionally well done action sequences to me.
And it might just be that Hitchcock was adapting to the story. Thief is a much more fun rather than dramatic ride.
