ISO: How high is too high? Oscar-nominated movie 'A Complete Unknown' was shot at ISO12800!

Sony Cine - 'A Complete Unknown'.

James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown is one of the highest-rated biopics of recent times, chronicling Bob Dylan’s rise from an aspiring folk singer to a music icon in the Sixties.

Starring Timothée Chalamet as Dylan, the film generated significant buzz for its immersive storytelling and visual authenticity, capturing the gritty textures of Greenwich Village’s folk scene and the energy of Dylan’s artistic evolution. And one of the key techniques that helped achieve this period-accurate look was the unconventional use of high ISO settings – with much of the film shot at ISO12800!
