Watched La Strada today, the newest master streaming in a virtual screening room by Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation. Great movie but is it just me or should it have been matted to 1.85:1? In the 1.37:1 presentation there’s a lot of headroom, and tilting to keep everything in a narrow center space. Judging from a few cursory screengrabs, things line up a lot better along the “rule of thirds” lines in 1.85 too.
