Movie News, Movie Reviews, and Features With Your Time in Mind
You can see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in 70mm or 35mm at Alamo Drafthouse in San Francisco, as well as other theaters in North America.
Director and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino is no stranger to shooting 70mm movies. His The Hateful Eight joined other 70mm classics like The Master, Tron, Cleopatra, and Ben Hur in 2015. Now it’s time for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s 70mm option to make its way to theaters. And as luck would have it if you’re in San Francisco, you can see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in 70mm at Alamo Drafthouse New Mission.
Longtime Quentin Tarantino Cinematographer Robert Richardson (Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, The Aviator, Breathe) is responsible for bringing Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and Leonardo DiCaprio, to life in 70mm, as he did with The Hateful Eight. You may not understand why seeing a movie in uber-widescreen format 70mm makes any difference to the standard 35mm, but considering you are reading about how to see it, you must be curious. There’s a long list of reasons why seeing Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in 70mm over 35mm is worth it, but it’s best to discover it for yourself during the screening.
I will provide one very important reason to see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood in 70mm or 35mm – Tarantino still uses real film to make his movies. It’s a rarity in the modern filmmaking landscape, and whether you think Tarantino has the best dialogue exchanges in movies or is the absolute worst, watching a movie shot on celluloid is worth the price of admission anyway.
