Actually, the film was entirely filmed with the kind of cameras that were used in Chile at that time. Besides that, I'm glad LarraÃn finally made a more easy-to-digest film.

Cannes went for the big names and big stars this year in competition. Too bad for "No" which seems to have the most passionate reviews of any film there.

There certainly is an older quality to the aesthetic, at least in the colors and the grain, but that is certainly progressive (rather than interlaced, which is the hallmark of video).

I plan on seeing this… Bernal is something of a chameleon when it comes to the varying accents of Latin America (not a trace of Mexican in this, though I can't speak to the veracity of his Chilean accent), and he looks strong in this. I'm glad to see that Chile can address this subject in film so head on – it is a very recent part of their history. Other countries should take note, their own taboos can take muuuch longer to see themselves represented on film.

It looks like to me at least the whole movie was shot in video, it has that effect, at least. Is anyone else seeing this or is it me. I dig the clip and so far Pablo Larrain has made supremely awesome films, this included.
