304 - The Man Who Fell to Earth

[MrHenryDog]

The Man Who Fell to Earth is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1. Black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen are normal for this format. Director Nicolas Roeg supervised this new high-definition digital transfer, which was created on a Spirit Datacine from an interpositive of the complete uncut version of the film struck from the original camera negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed using the MTI Digital Restoration System. To maintain optimal image quality through the compression process, the picture on this dual-layer DVD-9 was encoded at the highest-possible bit rate for the quantity of material included.

The soundtrack was mastered from the 35mm magnetic print master, and audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle.
