Hey guys =)

If you've seen last Jarmush's film, I've got a couple questions?
In the scenes where vamps are in the car, i.e. in Tanger, when framing lampposts, the light seems to make a halo-flare:

• What lens you reckon produced this?
• Secondly, do you find this "effect" pleasing?

Thank you

PS
Okay, seems camera used was an Arri Alexa Plus with Cooke S4 Lenses.
Still very interested in knowing your take on the flare rendition .-)

At 0'42'' is perfect example of what I was referring
