OVERALL: R1
For having the film in it's OAR of 1.33:1 and the extras. Do note, the UK release includes interviews, but the film is matted to 1.55:1.
This film has also been released in Japan by Toho. If you own this release or a know a review, please let us know via our forums.
General Notes:
There is some confusion on the film's aspect ratio or how it was supposed to be framed. IMDB lists the OAR as 1.37:1 while according to The Digital Fix, the correct AR is 1.55:1 since the print used for the UK release was sourced from the Toho Restoration. It's been confirmed by Criterion that they got confirmation for the OAR from director Nobuhiko Ōbayashi himself, who said the movie was indeed shot in full-frame as it was targeted for TV and felt that was the aspect ratio that suited him best (special thanks goes to Rewind user Jyri_Lehtinen for the info). -
CUTS:
- R0 Germany- Rapid Eye Movies - No cuts (87:36)
- R1 America- Criterion Collection - No cuts (~87:00 NTSC)
- R2 United Kingdom- Eureka - No cuts (89:00 NTSC)
