The Official Dogme 95 Website It doesn't surprise me that Miramax said to play it in widescreen since they optically reduced the end credits so that the Academy frame fits within a widescreen aperture plate. We can't crop the credits but nobody cares about the feature itself!  |  IP: Logged Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 02-20-2002 05:33 PM                     In Denmark the copies we got, the subtitles were printet high, so we could show the film in 1:1.66. Only one or two cinemas in Copenhagen got prints with the subtitles printet for 1:1.37 presentation. I talked to the director and she admitted that academy wasn't the best format in this day and age, but she was tied to the Dogme rules. They ought to change the rules.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-24-2002 04:46 PM                    > 9.

"Julien Donkey-Boy" is supposedly a Dogme 95 film yet it's 1.85 : 1, thus proving the futility of making a blanket assumption.  |  IP: Logged
