Pearl (Steelbook) (4K UHD Review)

Writer/director Ti West opens Pearl in the exact same way that he opened his previous film X, though with a key difference. In both cases, it’s an inversion of the famous shot that John Ford used to close his 1956 classic The Searchers, opening up the outside world instead of closing it off. The camera is inside of a barn looking out through a doorway that narrows down the full width of the frame, but rather than having someone shut the door to cut off the outside world, the camera pushes through the opening instead, which causes the frame to expand back to its full width. With X, the shot helped to establish the shifting aspect ratios that West would use throughout the film, and it also gave a visual indication that the story was going to be structured as a movie within a movie. X was about a group of adult filmmakers during the Seventies who travel to a farm in rural Texas in order to shot a 16 mm porno flick called The Farmer’s Daughters. As a result, the film switches back and forth between the look of matted 35 mm and full fame 16 mm. The barn door was a framing device that West used to foreshadow the literal framing devices used throughout the rest of the film.
