Re: Katyn (Andrzej Waida) Poland
BUMP
I was all excited to finally catch this via the R1 Koch Lorber DVD which released this past Tuesday, but a disappointment again now that I've read the DVDBeaver review which says the Koch Lorber released is also cropped (as was the case with the Polish release). DVDSavant's review lists it as 2.35:1 but I think Glenn might have simply grabbed those specs from the published material (he doesn't specifically address the aspect ratio in the body of his review, and e-tailer listings I've checked are also (incorrectly) indicating 2.35:1). And DVDBeaver shows the actual evidence in their screen caps and it is 1.78. Oh well, I'll cross my fingers that Artificial Eye gets it right come October. Otherwise, I'm back to the properly framed Russian DVD release, or just waiting for it to show up on TV.
This site's DVD Release List doesn't seem to be very thorough as it doesn't even list KATYN, and it missed LA SCONOSCIUTA a few weeks back.

The R2 UK DVD from Artificial Eye was released earlier this month. Does anyone know what the aspect ratio is...2.35 or 1.78? I tried contacting Artificial Eye but never received a response.
