First Reformed

[Don Berry]

Is there anyone else looking forward to the new Paul Schrader movie, "First Reformed"? Or has anyone caught it at any of the festivals it's played? It sounds a bit like "Winter Light" and "Taxi Driver". I know Schrader has been hit or miss for the past twenty years, but he can still surprise and make a haunting movie like "Auto Focus", so I'm hoping this is on that level in terms of quality.

 

Here's the trailer:

They shot a 1: 37 : 1 aspect ratio, but it doesn't say the camera or lenses used, does anyone have information regarding that? The cinematographer is Alexander Dynan, the same gentlemen who shot Schrader's previous movie, "Dog Eat Dog". It's released in select cities on the 18th in America, and I have badgered their twitter page for information about a release date for Canada and have yet to receive a reply but will post it once I know.
