Having now finally seen the 70mm roadshow cut of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, I can firmly say that it was one of the most transcendent moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had. The relish of seeing a modern-day film shot on a film stock that hadn’t been used in nearly fifty years was like being thrust in a time portal back to the 1960s and early 70s where the form was predominantly utilized in the epic film genre. The wide, high-resolution images of both the mountainous exteriors and contained spacing of the main haberdashery setting were a feast for the eyes, and the addition of a complementary souvenir program on the film, its stars and production was an added bonus too.
