    He was shooting medium format throughout the documentary (rolleicord or flex or something ) so he might have used something similar to shoot the portrait, although it does look quite wide. Nice slow grain free B&W like pan F combined with 6x6 will give you tons of detail.
    Window light only apparently. He notes in the documentary that Becket smiled as he came in to the cafe and saw him sitting beside the window because he knew what he was up to.
