Another fascinating Bergman dreamscape (and aspect ratio notes) April 25 2012
By K. Gordon TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
This left me confused about whether it's a great film or merely an extremely entertaining one. As surreal and
enigmatic as 'Persona', but with a lighter touch, more of a ghost story of a kind. However, it has the same
self-reflective acknowledgment that you're watching a film, scenes that leave you wondering what's real
and what's a dream, etc.

The themes don't seem as deep as "Persona", but that doesn't stop this from being deeply absorbing. It's still
brilliant filmmaking, full of breathtaking images. And I have the feeling it will grow on repeated viewings,

A wife recounts the very odd series of events leading to her unstable artist-husband's disappearance when
they stayed on an almost abandoned island.

Some of the smaller roles are intentionally - but I found annoyingly -played over the top.

No question that this film was a serious influence on David Lynch.

As noted here, the early versions of the MGM DVD were mistakenly released in 1:66, when the original
aspect ratio should have been 1:37. However, they later brought out a corrected version.
But you might keep that in mind when buying used.

wrongly cropped from OAR 1.37:1 to 1.66:1 and it looks awful Feb 6 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
MGM have not fully researched the OAR of this film. They have released this DVD in the wrong aspect ratio (1.66:1 instead of 1.37:1) resulting in A LOT of bad looking framing.

The film may have been released theatrically in the US at 1.66:1 but if so THIS WAS WRONG. The OAR of the film is 1.37:1 and it is released in this ratio around the world (see the recent French DVD for example).

MGM messed it up Feb 5 2004
Format:DVD
I like this movie but unfortunately MGM messed up the aspect ratio of the film. This film was originally 1.37:1 not 1.66:1 as it's presented here. I guess they felt it was necessary to cut the actors' heads off in this print. Perhaps one day they will correct this mistake but for now, stay away from this dvd.
