Of course film suffers from Nyquist limitations. However, from that point of
view, the sampling rate is much higher with film than with present-day
digital camerae, and the sampling rate is more random, so that obvious
effects, such as moire patterns, are less noticeable.

I usually use the term "pragmatically," as in film
pragmatically doesn't suffer from "digital's"
nyquist limitations. But I guess one can split fine
hairs and say Nyquist applies to everything. The fact
though is most digital cameras can't capture those fine
hairs because film (depending on granularity/resolving
power) has so vastly higher a sampling rate when compared
to digital you have no need to dumb down typically used
optics or otherwise reduce the scene signal frequencies
to prevent moire and artifacting.
