Hello Community! 

 

I am very curious to know what negative stock Sławomir Idziak used in the double life of veronica.

I'm searching the internet and I can't find anything regarding the stock. Does anyone have any information about it? It would be a great help!

Thank you very much!

It was shot in 1990; the year before Kodak came out with the first EXR version of their fast film, 5296 500T, so it probably was shot on that -- though it was possible to still buy the older high-speed stocks, 5294 and 5295. The EXR series was the first to use T-grain in all the layers. 

5294 400T came out in 1983 before T-grain technology but was still being used by a few people as late as 1991 ("Bugsy" for example).

5295 400T came out in 1986 and used T-grain for the blue layer and was sold as a high-speed "bluescreen" stock. For a few years, it was a case of some DPs preferring 5294 and others 5295 (a bit less grainy but also a bit more contrasty, plus Kodak charged more for it).
