‘Kodachrome’ Movie Coming to Netflix on April 20

March 28, 2018 By Eric Reagan

It was a dark day for film when Kodak killed Kodachrome back in 2009. After Kodachrome stock ran out, there was one final photo lab in the country that could process Kodachrome – Dwayne’s Photo in Kansas. Dwayne’s Photo ran out of the chemicals to process Kodachrome in December 2010, which was the final nail in the coffin for Kodachrome film.

Netflix’s new movie Kodachrome tells the story of a legendary photographer (played by Ed Harris) and his estranged son (Jason Sudeikis) as they embark on a road trip to process his final rolls of Kodachrome film at Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas.

Kodachrome had a rich and long history, which you can get a small taste of in the short documentary below.

The Kodachrome movie debuts on April 20 exclusively on Netflix. You can watch it when it releases here on Netflix.

    KR64 … great film. Back in the 1980’s, I started shooting colour tranny. Initially was using FujiChrome 100, but, I was never happy with the sharpness. Had my eyes checked, camera checked, lenses checked. Then, I discovered KR64. Problem solved. It wasn’t me, it was the E6 film at the time.

    I moved to Japan ( from Australia) from 1993 to 1997. I used to purchase KR64 in lots of 100 rolls from Australia, and, have it mailed to me in Tokyo. KR64 was sold in Australia ” process paid ” , whereas, KR64 was sold in Japan as ” Plus processing fee “. Kodak in Japan would honour the pre-paid film from Australia. I did save $$.

    I could go into the Ginza in Tokyo, leave the film, and, 24 hours later, it was ready. Really fast service. In Australia, it would take 7 to 10 days.

      If only someone would resuscitate this film! It was glorious. I still have a ‘fridge full of Kodachrone (still and movie) film. It’s silly but I live in hope that, one day, someone starts processing it again.
      If anyone’s seen a well exposed 16mm Kodachrome movie film, they’d be hooked forever.

        I had a few hundred rolls of film in my freezer for many years but sold it all on ebay several years ago. I sold many rolls of Kodachrome Pro 120 for as much as $37 for two rolls.
