A film made in 2010 is in 1.375? I guess they're not planning on having it seen in the right ratio, eh?

Hi John,
1.375:1 is a little odd, but, it's it's well documented that's what Kelly Reichardt wanted when she made it.
It's probably on limited release, certainly in Australia, anyway.

Yes, 1:37 and it looks really good that way.
We showed it properly, but I'm not sure everyone got the message.
