Because that's basically what happened in his last 2 abominable movies. He found some really unsuitable thrift lenses and thought it was a master stroke of genius to use them in a professional movie. That's why virtually every single frame is horribly blurred except at the exact center.

There must be a few floating around the Hollywood rental shops, the Helios has a pretty distinctive bokeh pattern. You'll see it shot wide open looking directly at the subject for dramatic affect Luckily these lenses are pretty cheap (The USSR made many of them), I purchased two in late 2022 that shipped from Ukraine A video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYvWpavSXeE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYvWpavSXeE
