[Film] is better quality. It’s really as simple as that. I’ve heard, like, a million times, people explaining that digital is cheaper, that it’s lighter, that it’s better quality — I mean, it’s wrong. In terms of cost, it’s the same price. In terms of weight, it’s heavier and more complicated. And, in terms of texture, it’s not half as good as 35mm. So I’ve, really quickly, done the math.
