SUBMARINE (2011)

[Yousuf Abbasi]

I saw SUBMARINE (2011) last night for the first time, directed by Richard Ayoade. Overall, I thought it was extremely entertaining and a great film. Not shot on RED, I believe it was 35mm film.

The cinematography also caught my attention, very nicely done - in some shots the bokeh reminded me of Canon K35's. In other shots, I could tell it was a 8-blade lens.. probably vintage too. Anyone know what lenses this film was shot on ??

Great film, check it out if you havent already.

When I watched this film, I immediately thought it was my new favorite. Absolutely loved every bit of it. The man is a genius with words.

Agreed.

I found this site, not sure how credible it is: http://take2films.co.za/category/general/

Says it was shot with Canon K35's and Kowas. THOUGHT SO !!

Had seen at least one other reference to the 2C being used on Submarine.

Found this picture along the way...

Nice find Brian. I can sort of make out a Kowa cine prominar prime lens on the cam... the dashed paint is a giveaway.

One of my favorite films last year. Definitely worth checking it out. I believe you can find it on Netflix right now too.
