Why One Battle After Another in VistaVision Is a Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Описание: IndieWire’s Jim Hemphill explains why Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is making cinephiles in Los Angeles race to the theater.

VistaVision — a widescreen film format first introduced in the 1950s — hasn’t been used for a major studio release in more than 60 years. The last time audiences saw it at this scale was during the era of Marlon Brando classics.

With One Battle After Another, PTA brings VistaVision back to life, offering audiences the chance to see film prints struck directly from the original negative — a rarity in modern cinema. If you’re in LA, you can catch it at Tarantino’s newly restored Vista Theatre, one of the greatest first-run houses in the country.

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness one of the best movies of 2025 in the format it was meant to be seen.
