great movie!

thank you :)
Thank you. This is not a widescreen edition, the picture has been cut on both sides.
Kuthumi, your last formulation is not correct. I've got both 4/3 and 16/9 versions. 4/3 is not just the 16/9 version cut off on the sides. In fact, on the whole, it carries even more visual information than the widescreen version as it is not, unlike the latter, cut off very heavily on top and bottom. It's a question of personal preferences, of course. I just don't think it's right to put it the way you do.

One more film by Peter Weir, this time from his Australian period:
http://thepiratebay.ee/tor/3722992/The_Last_Wave_Peter_Weir_1977
This dark, powerful drama is richly permeated with eschatological motifs of the Terra Australis' indigenous tribal population myths and prophecies (true or fictional) and is haunting in the same vein as Weir's first international breakthrough "Picnic at Hanging Rock". But instead of poetically mysterious and elegiac, the overall mood here is overtly fantastic with elements of occult, and a broader scope bordering on the verge of apocalyptic.
It's a shame that film like this remains undeservedly little-known and seen (less than 1800 votes on IMDB).
Thanks a lot for the upload!
Many thanks!
artleo: what you are describing is an open matte, which sadly is not the case with this title as it was originally filmed in 1.85:1, and not 1.33:1
You seem to claim differently so, as always, the burden of proof is on you :) Pix or it didn't happen!

It's pretty rude to advertise your torrents on other people's, dude.
Not everyone wants VOB files...
Thanks it was great movie.
Too bad it's fullscreen.
Beautiful movie, and thanks Artleo in any case for what you are providing. Only pity is that it's not in the correct cinematographic format, this is the matte version adapted for TVs.
Hey Artleo, IF you get this message, could you please upload the widescreen side of this DVD?
