Body Snatchers

This was the first movie to be shot with Arriscope anamorphic lenses, which were created for Arri by the German manufacturer Isco-Optic. Cinematographer Bojan Bazelli found their quality "astonishing" during testing, and loved the fact that the images produced were "razor sharp, edge to edge" and with no curvilinear distortion, unlike many anamorphic lenses of the time. The Arriscopes are very large and heavy, with the three longest lenses weighing from 11 to 14 pounds and having built-in carrying handles. In his 2025 memoir, director Abel Ferrara calls them "the size of living room furniture".

(at around 3 mins) In the opening sequences, Marti is sitting on the right side of the car looking out the window. When it cuts to show her viewpoint of the moon and passing trees, the perspective is as if she were on the left side of the car.
