This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a 16mm reduction print (as is evident from the publisher-provided still frame above).
The film is likely accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
Reluctantly recommended as a home video edition of the film, as this appears to be the only edition available, but we still have problems with the unconscionably high retail price of this edition for the low value provided: low-quality video transfer, no custom music, no supplemental material, no packaging artwork, cheap storage case.
