Dancer in the Dark...? Anamorphic or not?

DVDempire lists this dvd as being anamorphic BUT IMDB lists it as being letterboxed! Does anyone have this DVD and can confirm if it is truly anamorphic? I am interested in it but don't want a 2:35 to 1 letterboxed version of it-
Many thanks-

Yes, it's anamorphic. The back of my snapper case states "Enhanced for widescreen TVs."

Anamorphic, DTS 5.1 track which is one of my favorite DTS tracks.
The movie is mostly in mono sound, but once the dream sequences come in, the speakers all go to full effect.

As a warning, the depression level of Antichrist pales in comparison to Dancer in the Dark's.

Has anyone seen the DVD reissued in a keepcase? I've been meaning to check this out since it was released, but just never got around to it.

I've only ever managed to watch Dancer once. I can't bring myself to watch it again, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it either.
