Hoezo in KINO

During the filming of Barfly, Müller and his crew invented the ‘KINO Flo’ lighting technique. Since most of the filming was set in bars, fitting a soft light into such a small space proved to be a problem. They created a fluorescent light that was a lot brighter, didn’t flicker, and had the correct light temperature without giving a greenish tint. Nowadays, the Kino Flo is an essential tool in any DoP’s toolkit.

Storyline

Downtrodden writer Henry and distressed goddess Wanda aren’t exactly husband and wife: they’re wedded to their bar stools. But, they like each other’s company—and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.
