One comment for “Vote for next @CRITERION Blu-ray: Au Revoir Les Enfants, Down By Law, Howards End, Kwaidan, Picnic at Hanging Rock”
I would say “Howards End” for the purely visual aspect. It was shot Super 35mm for 70mm blow up, but released mostly in 2:35 Scope. If it does make it to BD, it should be cropped for 70mm’s 2:20 aspect ratio. The 2:35 Scope prints have so much extra picture to the left and right that it’s bewildering, and not very attractive.
