"The
Master", a new film
in 65mm by Paul
Thomas Anderson By Weinstein Publicity
Panavision went totally out
of their way to service us in using cameras that have largely gone
unused for decades. At times we had a guy from Panavision staying with
us, just so he could handle technical issues with the cameras
A
Review of "The Master" in 70mm By Ramon Lamarca Marques
I never thought I would be able to see any major release of an originated
65mm film on a 70mm print in the West End. This fact alone brought a sense
of awe that had been missing from the experience of going to the pictures
for a long time.
THE
MASTER AT BIFFEN 17. FEBRUARY 2013
TRANSCRIPTION
Owner of the "Biffen" cinema
Mr. Orla Nielsen: Am
I on now? Welcome to
the cinema in
Aalborg and in the
moment we're showing
T. P. Anderson's
[sic] film "The
Master". Not only do
we show it, we also
showing it in the
original 70mm
version. And we're
extremely proud and
happy about that. We
can now only hope
that the audience
will come and see it
in the real 70mm
format.
Girl with yellow
shirt: I'm going to
see "The Master"
because it seems
like a really
interesting story. I
don't know what it's
about from viewing
the trailers. And
also because it'll
be show in 70mm and
it will only do that
here and at another
place in Copenhagen
and the screen
should be perfect,
because it's a
curved screen. And
the director had a
vision with this
format, that it had
a significance, so
I'm really excited
to see what effect
it will have on the
story and the whole
experience.
Woman in cinema:
It's truly a great
visual story. I
think...it's a flat
image but the image
is sculptural. The
opening scene
itself, with the
helmet. It looks
like silver but it's
completely
sculptural, as if
you dragged into the
image. I think
that's amazing. Also
the sand sculpture.
It should be hard to
see it, you know
it's a woman but
even the nipples are
completely in
detail. I think it's
the image quality
that makes it so
amazing.
Man in cinema:
It's
an amazing film, an
amazing story. There
is some footage of
water and I'm
completely certain
that it's only on
70mm you can capture
the waves like that,
made by the ship.
Then there's some
CUs of the faces and
it's really amazing.
Also because of the
great performances.
They are all great.
It's not a movie
where you think "Ah,
there was that actor
who was
embarrassing". They
are all great. So,
it's all pretty
perfect.

65/70MM WORKSHOP
“In The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson has shown
eloquently that 65mm works incredibly well for an intimate,
character-driven film, not just those with epic backdrops.
He recognizes the emotional power and depth of the large
format, and delved into it in a way that is very rarely
done. In so doing, he has advanced the power and beauty of
70mm storytelling and elevated moviemaking to exciting new
heights.”

Venue 70mm show at Hearst Castle and finally we joined the Cinerama 60th

System 65 - nu i
Danmark!
"The Master" er fotograferet med et Panaflex System 65 Studio kamera.
Formatet er beskåret til 1.85:1. 80% af den færdige film er fotograferet i
65mm. De resterende 20% er fotograferet i standard 35mm. Det var et kreativt
valg at anvende begge filmformater. Den anvendte 65mm råfilm er Eastman
Kodak's 5201 på 50 ASA.

Dette er den første kommercielle 70mm visning i Skandinavien, og
jeg er sikker på, at det danske publikum vil nyde at se P T

Biffen,
Aalborg viser "The
Master" i 70mm Af Thomas
Hauerslev
P. T. Andersons episke "The Master" bliver vist i Biffen fra 15. februar,
og helt ekstraordinært en 70mm kopi af filmen.
Biffen er en af de få biografer i landet, der kan håndtere film i
superformatet 70mm - en ægte filmoplevelse, du ikke skal snyde dig selv for.
En af Danmarks
nyeste 3-sals
biografer med 70mm
udstyr og Philips'
Oscarbelønnede DP70
maskiner i alle 3
biografer.
Buede lærreder og
luxus som få
biografer kan byde
på. Der bliver
ganske få
forestillinger i
70mm af en af de
mest imødesete film
fra 2012. Filmen har
været undervejs i 5
år, og nu har den
endelig dansk
premiere i 70mm.

I juni 2009 åbnede
Aalborg's nye 3-sals biograf "Biffen". Fra begyndelse har det været
meningen at der skulle vises 70mm film. I februar 2013 lykkedes det
endelig at få en 70mm film til Aalborg - til og med en helt ny film
produceret i Panavision's System 65. Premieren på 70mm var "The Master"
den 15. februar 2013 i sal A.

"Inherent
Vice" is released

When private eye Doc Sportello's ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere
shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer
boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his
wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a
loony bin…well, easy for her to say.
"Phantom
Thread" is released
in 70mm Paul Thomas
Anderson: We
kind of hopefully
presented this
option, that if you wanna dig it this
way, it's there for
you. I prefer it. I
enjoy it. I think
it's a more well
balanced meal, just
in terms of the way
that it kinda comes
through the
projector and the
light and umm, and
things moving
around, and..... I
prefer it. But
certainly does not
mean you are not
gonna like the movie
if you have to see
it in any other way.
It also doesn’t mean
you gonna like it
any more.
