Title: some technical remarks
Review: First, regarding the framing 1:33 is very close to the original 1:37, but a little bit zoomed so lacking some parts of the picture but not too much. The quality of the master is very good (much better than any VHS) but not as good as many DVDs avialable on the market, especially compared to "Andrei Roublev" by Criterion. Also Kino on Video has transfered the monochromic newsreels in the movie (originally in sepia, orange, bronwnish tones) in plain B&W. What a pity. Last but not least, the foreign dialogues (spanish, and newsreels) are not translated, but in my opinion is not very important as it adds some mystery and make you feel like a stranger as if you were russian. Anyway, the movie is incredible and the DVD is quite good, colors scenes are stunning.
