The Blu-ray is sitting in my viewing pile, but I distinctly remember noticing something like that in the print I saw in the theater. So that may just be the source material.
Lumet has been a long-time proponent of digital, even though he never got much attention for it. His TV show
100 Centre Street on A&E (2001-2002) was shot entirely digitally, and Lumet said at the time it was the best filming experience he'd ever had.
As for
Devil, I think it's Phillip Seymour Hoffman's best film work ever, superior even to
Capote or to his Oscar-nominated role in
Charlie Wilson's War. He's mastered the craft of acting through small gestures that don't look like acting. So you don't think he's doing all that much until he sneaks up on you and . . . pow!
