Got the recently re-released DVD5 version of
The Road Home (Director: Zhang Yimou) since the DVD9 version sold out eons ago. The DVD backcover reads
Fullscreen, I was disappointed since Zhang's films always feature neat and rich background which really adds to the experience.
Went home and researched on Amazon, and found out that it's filmed in 2.35 to 1 widescreen, which means a full frame version is losing so much detail!
Pop in the DVD and to my delight, it's
Widescreen.
Hopefully, Magnavision will release or re-release all the other Zhang's film which are licensed to Sony (Not One Less, Happy Times, The Story of Qiu Ju).
Riding alone for thousand of miles is scheduled this month.
Update: Not One Less had also been re-released by Magnavision as budget 299 DVD. Riding Alone... is Php 475.
