James Gray: "At one point I said, '2.40 is okay if we use these very old baltar lenses.' And Darius [Khondji] said, '400 Blows wouldn’t do that ’scope.' I said, '400 Blows is ’scope actually.' He didn’t believe me, so I took out the DVD and it was ’scope."

@thumbelulu I think a villain in a film is basically an antagonist, whereas an anti-hero can be the subject, protagonist, etc, but one who rejects -- and stands for the rejection of -- heroic qualities.
