Sexy Beast (2000) (Limited to 3,000 Copies)

[RiFiFi1955]

For the region free folks it has been released in Germany and the UK already. It also is part of this pretty cheap set from the UK

As others have already said, this option isn't exactly the greatest since both releases are not OAR.

Isn't the AR quite questionable in this case - look at the dvdbeaver caps?

It is, but I'm used to the scope version. The other one looks wrong to me.

What is "questionable" about it? The film is shot on Super35. Scope is the OAR.

Both ratios are correct. The film was financed by Film 4, part of TV station Channel 4 so it was framed for theatrical exhibition at 2.35:1 and 1.78:1 for TV.

If you like it try 44 Inch Chest, by the writers of Sexy Beast and starring Ray Winstone with Ian McShane. John Hurt's character approaches Ben Kingsley's for sheer vileness.

I prefer the 1.85:1 version, much like I prefer the 1.85:1 version of The World's Fastest Indian. That just looked odd, IMO, seeing it recently, in 2.35:1.
