More on that Heavenly Creatures DVD
Lewman @ 4:38 pm EST
Well I've been informed by a visitor to the site that the Heavenly Creatures DVD that I mentioned a few days back, is indeed out. It is apparently a Canadian only release (well officially that is) and unfortuantly is in 4:3 pan and scan. You may not think much of that, but if you tie in the fact it has no extras whatsoever to speak of, then it's a real piss poor dvd. The LD that was released a couple of years back (it's still available now if you look hard enough) comes in a rich 2:35:1 print. So if you have the equipment this really is still the choice to watch PJ's greatest film :) It's worth bearing in mind that the US version of Heavenly Creatures has a considerable shorter running time than say the NZ version. So again it's still worth waiting for a more complete HC to come out. If you still want to get it then the spec for the dvd is as follows: VIDEO English: Dolby Surround 2.0 French: Dolby Surround 2.0
