Korean "Last Emperor"
Does anyone own this edition of the movie?
http://www.koreandvds.com/dvddetail.html?id=14254
The page states that it is the longer cut of the film in anamorphic widescreen. However, the cover art looks just like the old Korean DVD for the movie, a 2-disc set which contained a beautiful anamorphic remaster of the theatrical cut and then a crappy port of the lousy-quality Region 1 Extended Cut.
Is this just a reissue, or is it a newly remastered version? Anyone know?

If you can live with the theatrical cut, the Korean disc is terrific.

I have the DVD but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. In any case, I never saw the theatrical cut so I would not be in a position to advise on whether this is different.
