Beautifully shot, 16mm goodness


This movie shows just how complacent most other filmmakers have become when it comes to the way their movies look... Shot om 16mm it looks nothing like most current movies... It's so much better, actually looks like a movie!

Yeah, it helps when your camera is pointed at Amber Heard who looks absolutely stunning* in this, but even though the movie suffers from an excess of orange an teal colour grading for my tastes it's still much better than most other movies today which look they were shot on consumer digital cameras or look CGI even in the live action parts...

also... great cars... love the scene where they drive to the pier...

* It's so rare nowadays to see a beautiful woman, shot beautifully on the big screen...
