Anyone see this movie? I watched it the other day and it had a quality to it that reminded me of 5d/7d footage. Anyone know what it was shot with? Was it digital or film?
 
awesome, thanks for the link.

But finding an alternative that could handle the bright cityscapes and vibrant clothing was a challenge for the Belgium-born cinematographer. “I had never done a movie this colorful, and I usually see things much more de-saturated and devoid of color,” he admits. “When I first saw the wardrobe and some of the sets, it was a shock to my system.”

With the clothes being such a huge part of the storyline, it would have been easy to create scenes that looked like a Macy’s ad or an infomercial for a fabric wholesaler. To avoid that, Willems tried not to be overly conscious about the outfits, shooting them with strong color and contrast to keep the frame from washing out or looking flat.

Makes sense to me as to why it has that look - Deep colors and strong contast. I'm too used to seeing films that are heavily graded and pushed towards desaturation or limited colors.
