In 1973 László Kovács filmed Paper Moon in deep focus for aficionado of 13-year girls Peter Bogdanovich. 

Immediate foreground, middle distance (Addie) and background all in the same focus. And that is a night shot.

In 1974 John A. Alonzo filmed Chinatown for fellow aficionado of 13-year old girls Roman Polanski.

 


Foreground, Jake Gittes in sharp focus; middle distance, pedestrian, blurry; stores in background across the street, blurry. NOT deep focus cinematography.
