35mm

“I could see people coming down from Hollywood — especially if there was 35mm every night. Retro repertory stuff? Oh, my God.”

Following a limited theatrical release, including some screenings in 35mm, the film begins streaming on the platform on Friday.

That participatory knowingness is imbued into the cinematography itself, executed by Paul Faltz on 35mm with a look that alternates between shadowy fear and gauzy fantasy.

More copies of this film were produced than any other in India, spanning formats from 35mm to 8mm, Super 8, and later, video cassettes.

Working with his frequent cinematographer Josée Deshaies, Bonello shot the 1910 portion of the story in 35mm for a more sensual look, while the sharper and colder images of 2014 and 2044 were captured using digital.
