Hi Adam, I did a search on the movie and could oly come upwith the fact 
that it was shot in 35mm.

I checked on The American Cinematographer magazine site and could not 
find anything having to do with an article on the movie.
Maybe it is because Robert Elswit is not a member of the society.

Maybe he shot it in color and it was desaturated in the post 
process...but don't quote me on it.


peace
