quote: Mike Schulz I did a bit of searching around to find out why they used a strange aspect ratio on "Cafe Society" and it seems to be a specific trait of cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro, who created a new film format with his son called Univisium that has an aspect ratio of 2.00:1. Apparently he shoots all of his films with that ratio now.
That means Storaro has painted himself into a proverbial corner. Hasn't he?
If he created this format, Univisium, and wants to evangelize its use then he MUST use that format, himself, or else his proposal will be seen as mere empty words.
If his proposed format made sense, more directors/producers would use it but, as others have said above, it's half baked at best. Even so, he has to keep using it or else he could be seen as little more than a blowhard.
