Die Tageszeitung "Guardian" nennt ihn "one of the defining British films of the decade" - den im Jahr 2019 erschienenen Spielfilm "Bait", der mit einer Bolex H16 in Schwarzweiß gedreht und dessen Material handentwickelt wurde:
Seine Premiere hatte er übrigens auf der letztjährigen Berlinale.
Die Filmemacher-Website RedShark News hat einen ausführlichen Artikel zu den technischen Aspekten des Films - der Autor ist dabei deutlich ein Skeptiker: https://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/6948-the-film-of-the-decade-or-a-technical-catastrophe
Zitate daraus:
"In conventional terms, Bait’s hand-processed stock looks awful. Camera hairs, scratches and a filthy negative means there is a continual parade of white blemishes and hairs on the print. The density of the negative continually changes. At times, the image is constantly flickering and the picture flashes into negative. The quality is very inconsistent; a sharp, contrasty shot is followed by a foggy one that looks like it’s been dragged through the dirt. You understand why professional filmmakers always let professional labs develop their film. [..] The ‘hand-made’ feel gives you the sense that every shot has been painstakingly chosen. Shot more conventionally, the film would certainly have gathered less attention and it certainly wouldn’t have been acclaimed as ‘the definitive British film of the decade’."
