REVERSAL FILM is a certain kind of film stock - used rarely - that really saturates colors (when used with color), deepens the blacks, and blows out the whites. it also has a grainy quality to it and can make for some pretty crazy-looking images... and i love it. and i want everyone to love it too, so i'm going to picspam for you a few awesome movies and an awesome television episode that were shot on this awesome film stock.
