What is tungsten-balanced film?

Film color-balanced for warm artificial light rather than daylight. Shot at night it renders street lighting naturally while pushing everything unlit toward cool blue — which is the split-tone character this effect reproduces.

Why is the grain so visible?

High-speed film needed larger silver crystals to be sensitive enough for night shooting, and those crystals are the grain. Keeping it is what stops the result reading as a digital blue filter.
