Quentin Tarantino’s eighth feature film, The Hateful Eight , is a paradox of scale. While the narrative is essentially a stage play set in a single room during a blizzard, Tarantino chose to shoot the film using —the widest cinema format in existence. By using 65mm negatives and anamorphic lenses, the film achieves a massive 2.76:1 aspect ratio. For viewers watching a 1080p BluRay version, this technical choice is immediately apparent through the prominent black bars on the screen, preserving a vision that was originally intended for grand "Roadshow" theatrical screenings.
