Italian releases worth importing?

The Shipping News
The Way We Were
The China Syndrome

I'm thinking of importing I Spit on your Grave, but the aspect ratio worries me as it's different to that of the UK and US discs. Is it noticeably different, and if so, in a good way or bad? (As I believe the proper ratio should be 2.35:1 as UK and US are).

Thanks.

Its just open matte, as was shot. It also hasn't been color graded like the other releases. Its a nice clean image. You'll be impressed

I'll post this here. It's wise to avoid the Italian Nightcrawler Blu, as the encoding is pretty bad (slightly degrained and colours are altered).
Some caps (the first one is enough):
