innopac Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Is anyone able to tell me how to obtain the restored version of the Sizova Sleeping Beauty and if there are any problems with it? I am presuming it is preferable to the Kultur dvd. My understanding the restored version is Japanese produced. Link to comment
EricMontreal22 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 They have it from Japanese sites. hmv.co.jp is one (you can view it in English), CDJapan is another. I am not sure what the region code is though--Japan is NTSC (like North America) but is region 2 (like some of Europe)--however in my experience dance, ballet, and concert DVDs are region 0. This is the link I used. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=IVCF-5151 It is preferable--it's beautifully letterboxed so you see every image in the intended frame. (have any of the Bolshoi ballet movies been similarly restored?) Link to comment
