The Matrix 35mm Scan -

One of the most discussed aspects of The Matrix is its color grading. The Wachowskis famously utilized a chemical process called "bleach bypass" during development. This technique skips the bleaching step, leaving silver salts in the film emulsion. The result is higher contrast, desaturated colors, and a distinctive, gritty sheen.
