aspect ratio

Q: What attracted you about shooting in this classic aspect of ratio?
Reichardt: When you’re in the desert, you see for 40 miles in every direction; it’s very hard to be taken aback by something. And if they’re traveling this 10 miles a day, in the wide screen we could see that “Well, there’s tomorrow and there’s yesterday,” so the square really helped keep me in the moment with them.
Q&A with Reichardt at Sundance.
