Anamorphic

Oval bokeh and long blue horizontal flares.

What this effect is

An anamorphic lens squeezes the image horizontally on capture and unsqueezes it in projection; the by-products are oval bokeh and long blue horizontal flares. Those defects became so recognisable that they now read as the visual signature of a big-budget film.
