just curious, but is there any particular reason why 90% of the film is incredibly grainy? I figured it was because of all the overexposure and the film type they used, but I'm not expereienced enough in film to judge that.
 
Uhhh I love the look of the film. The grain, the overxposure and the blueish tint, all of it. I love everything Kaminski and Spielberg do.
 
they intended it to be shot in that manner

Spielberg remembers. "I want this movie to be dark and grainy, and to be really cold. This isn’t a warm adventure the way A.I. was. This is, rather, the rough and tumble, gritty world of film noir."

He was using the grainy film and exposure to give it a throw back to early 1930 detctive stories.
 
This is one of those films that when it first came out, I thought it was going to be some dog crap consumer nightmare type movies that produces a video game (which it did), action figures, etc. Not until I had free Showtime for a while did I catch it on there did I figure out that I really enjoyed it, a lot.
 
Funny thing is, most film noir was remarkably clean, no real visible grain - at least not like this.

granted they were cleaner but time has aged them and when viewed today they usually show high levels of wear grain and the small pubic hair squiggle. you have to remember we usually dont think of things as there were but as we see them
 
Yeah I suppose, but with the new digital re-masters things are better! I just saw Laura again the other night, it looked fantastic!

Disgruntled employees....

I guess projectionists must get bored seeing the same film so many times. Pubic grooming seems like a good way to pass the time...
