Most probably. But honestly to the modern viewer it looks more akin to the days of 4:3 CRT tv movies.

It's a shame, but one critic did point out that it lends to make the frame more claustrophobic. So there's that…

Apparently 1:37 was standard ("Academy ratio") on studio films between 1932 and 1952, so maybe Reichardt is trying to evoke the westerns of that period?

Not a very crowd-pleasing choice I don't think…
