This is a screen shot from a movie showing some really wacky gear shaped bokeh out-of-focus circles:

Also, she used this Hasselblad digital camera:

Is there really such a thing with a top LCD screen? They showed the LCD with live preview but I assume that was just for effect in the movie and it works like a DSLR.

No. The Hasselblad DSLR's (or backs available for the Hassy's) are rectangular format, not square; and the display is on the back not the top. The camera looks like a 500 series Hassy. If it was presented as "digital" than it was simply the filmmaker's way of illustrating the story.

On the last link above, you can even see that the back is an A12 film back.

Cheers,
Alan.
