Burton and Taylor | R4 |
The local release misses out on two featurettes:
Very odd is that the U.S. / Region 1 release is presented 1.78:1, not 2.35:1 as is the case with the Region 4 copy I reviewed. I commented in the body of the review that the ratio surprised me, being a TV production, and now the information on the US release only adds to my questions on this issue. After comparing the footage in the menu screen with the same shots from the film itself, my conclusion is that the film was definitely shot 2.35:1, and we have been favoured with that correct ratio, while the Region 1 release crops off both sides of the image to fill the TV screen. The two featurettes we miss out on don't sound overly impressive, so I would definitely choose our Region 4 release, with the full 2.35:1 image. |
