Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Disastrous DVD Comment: This film is a masterpiece and a classic. However, do NOT buy this DVD. It starts off ok in widescreen format just to display the credits and then is reduced to TV format cropping off the image. There is no choice of format available. This is an abomination. Most people who wish to view this film love artistic cinema and considering the effort Antonioni put into composing every frame makes this hatchet job particularly shameful. Obviously, this German DVD company are a bunch of mediocre philistines given their treatment of such a beautiful film. Boycott their products. These guys are anti-cinema. Comment Comment \| Permalink Customer Rating: Summary: 4:3 aspect ratio: Tragic! Comment: Antonioni was a director of beautiful and influential art films, and as well as their intellectual content, they can also be appreciated almost as beautiful slow-moving paintings. So why, when the original film, with stunning visuals (particularly the renowned end sequence set to the music of Pink Floyd) was shot in 2.35:1, does this release come in 4:3? This is tragic. I would give 5 stars for the film, but sadly only one star for a DVD release that completely misses the point. My old Serbian landlady told me a saying from her part of the world: "What use is a cow if it gives you 5 litres of milk and then kicks the milk pail over?" More Reviews
