This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from a 35mm or 16mm reduction print (as might be surmised from the publisher-provided still frame above).
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music recordings.
This home video edition of the film is not recommended, in part for the value given for the unconscionable cost demanded.
