Notes:09/2009 release presenting the film in a newly remastered anamorphic transfer in its OAR 1.85:1 - BUT - the transfer itself isn't identical to the original print, it's actually re-cropped differently in some scenes. For the first half the AR seems to be closer to 1.82-1.83:1 and then at about 52 mins into the film it changes to 1.85:1. The re-cropping has resulted to the tops of actors' heads getting cut off the screen, especially during closer shots when none of this was seen in the original print.
The director's interview features opening titles in Finnish while the interview is in English with the listed optional subtitles. Whether the interview's opening has been translated for each Scandinavian locality, is to be confirmed.
Stated incorrectly as R2 on the cover when the disc is actually region free. -
