 The British DVD features a 1.78:1 transfer of the film. Although the film was  shot for release in theaters at 2.35:1, because it was made on DV, the total  space of the filmed image was 1.78. The film was masked for theatrical  release, as the director intended. However, for subsequent showing on BBC and  then DVD release, the film was shown open matte. The American DVD, on the  other hand, respects the theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
