PODCAST: The Experimental Cinematography Of POOR THINGS – Petzval Lenses, Mixed Formats, And More!

Written by Noam Kroll

In this episode, I share a breakdown of some amazing and unconventional lens choices on the feature film Poor Things.

Throughout the episode, I cover each of these powerful lenses, explore how they were used, and share other key takeaways from the film.
