It's a negative film, with fairly wide latitude (depending on which you
choose, of course).

Gordon Willis talks about underexposing The Godfather Part II by six
stops and sometimes more to make it washed out and colourless in the
Vegas sequences, and also talks about underexposing by a couple of stops
as a rule to defeat "helpful" lab people who try to "brighten up" your
"too dark" film.

Funny--it happens in every industry!
