Ironweed (Hector Babenco) -- March 2013

[McCrutchy]

Olive Films will release Hector Babenco's Ironweed (1987), starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, on Blu-ray in March. Both Streep and Nicholson were nominated for Academy Awards for their performances.


Note: Fans will note that Ironweed has rarely, if ever, been seen in widescreen since its theatrical release. Most DVD editions, including the recent Lionsgate US DVD, are in the 1.33:1 ratio. To my knowledge, the only DVD to present the film in its OAR or 1.85:1 was the TF1 French R2 DVD, which has long been out of print and contains forced French subtitles.
