technical queries: film size, runtime.


Anyone able to give information please?

1. Was this shot in 16mm as stated in the background material? ORTF specified 16mm and IMO it looks pretty good, colours are excellent. IMDB do not give the data online but the DVD booklet gives '35mm print' as the transfer source.

2. What happened to the missing 6 min - if IMDB's 100 min is correct? (Criterion's stated and actual runtime is 94 min).

first of all its a tv produksjon so criterions dvd image 4:3 is correct!then the running time of the movie it is mostly likely also that criterions version is correct at 94 min ntsc speed.the info on imdb about the 100 min vers is most certenly wrong and based on info from the tv premiere where there was som min extra aded to the broadcasting for comercial of the tv stations own program comercials,maybe even a short interview with the dicector or something.it is very common even on public comercial free tv in europa iven today.short time fillers between programs.end to end it lets not count all the time imdb has wrong running time on tv or films.that is a waist of time.its easier to count the time they are correct.lol.
