Made in fullscreen?
Why???
IN RAINBOW/S
No, it wasn't shot in full screen. Here's what Jerry Rees has to say about a potential Blu-Ray release:
"Yes, a prize for best segue! Sadly, I don't know the answer. The VHS and DVD both wobble terribly at the beginning. The film itself - as we screened it at Sundance and other festivals - did NOT wobble at all. My best guess is that the worn print, after the festival run, was used to master the VHS, which was simply duped to DVD. I really wish you guys could see it the way it looked after a fresh wet-gate print back then. It was nice."
Interesting! I've always noticed the jittery frames in the title sequence and opening minutes. It's nice to know that there (may be) a better copy out there. And if it is in widescreen, even better!
