1) Virtually all non-Scope Czech films were presented in 1.37:1 right up to (and beyond) the Velvet Revolution of 1989;
2) The original cinematographer supervised and approved not just one but two restorations (Criterion circa 2000, Czech National Film Archive 2011) at that ratio. |
Seriously? I mean, fair enough, I understand that the cut / uncut thing may confuse slightly.
But, how do you manage to presume that Arrow messed up the aspect ratio? On a Blu Ray, no less.
