The film has been modified from what I would guess was a 1.66 aspect ratio, but save for a couple of scenes that seemed cropped, all the pertinent information is contained within the frame. In fact, most of the film is presented in wider aspect ratios set within the 1.33 frame. The use of the screen is reminiscent of a multimedia installation in a museum. The sound in Dolby Digital 2-channel stereo surround is bold and dynamic. Color and black and white pictures are mostly sharp, with a couple moderately soft scenes.
Colors are brilliant and well contained and there was no evident ringing of image.
Parts of the film are in English, but the bulk is in Japanese with English titles. Titles are in the black border when widescreen images are projected.
