The film is presented anamorphically at 1.85:1 and, considering the film was shot it on 16mm, it looks great here. Not ultra-clear and sharp evidently, but fine nonetheless, with reasonable shadow detail, good colours and a stable transfer. The DD 2.0 audio is clear and has a good depth of tone, particularly on the music score. English subtitles are even optional.
