This DVD was authored incorrectly. It should be framed as a 2.35:1 anamorphic image, but instead is "squeezed" so that everything inside the frame is stretched vertically and looks taller, probably to a 1.85:1 image. If you have a dvd or blu-ray player that upconverts, you can finnagle the image and eliminate the problem, but people with regular dvd players don't have that option. The manufacturer needs to fix this. The film is visually stunning, and should be presented properly.
