We also, however, screened a print in 1.85 which didn't look 'bad' but ultimately decided 1.66 looked much better. We are not playing a DCP at my location but I've heard that it also has a 'square' ratio so when you play it in 1.85 it is actually pillar-boxed so the aspect is correct on screen. For what it's worth, I hope you have a good run with this film -Mike Schulz  |  IP: Logged Robert John Jeromson Master Film Handler Posts: 264 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Jul 2004 posted 01-06-2011 04:04 PM                     Confirmed, the DCP version is 1.66:1 inside a 1.85:1 frame (pillar-boxed). The version we screened recently was stereo, left and right only.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-06-2011 05:44 PM                     NOTE in can: PROJECTIONIST: Please note that the correct aspect ratio for BLUE VALENTINE is 1.66 Please make necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible presentation of this feature.
