This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a dark 16mm reduction print that has a normal amount of dust, speckling, emulsion scrapes, frame jitters, and other print flaws. The video transfer leaves highlights a bit dark giving the whole picture a darkish brown tinge.
The film is accompanied by a music score compiled from preexisting orchestral recordings.
For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
