Shot in Panavision 'spherical' - not the squeezed anamorphic way.
Incredible moments - love the way they keep popping in and out of view in the house. Pools of light, reflections. If any evidence was needed that Chivo is the Master of Light, this is it. Incredibly, he received neither Oscar nor BAFTA nomination.
By the way, there are some people in it: Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams.
