Anybody have the 2.35:1 WIDESCREEN Laserdisc?


I came across a Playhouse VHS of WHERE THE RIVER RUNS BLACK at a local used Movie/Game/Comic Book shop a few days ago and bought it for a couple of reasons (Juan Ruiz Anchia is one) hoping for a dreamy, haunting, poetic jungle childhood lost film. I just watched it yesturday and it was even way better than I had hoped! It's such a lyrical, haunting and beautiful film. Everything works beautifully and hauntingly; James Horner's amazing score, the dreamy editing and voiceover, Anchia's photography, ect. I'd really love to see the original anamorphic shot 2.35:1 Widescreen version. Anchia is a great cinematographer and I love the anamorphic 2.35:1 ratio on its own anyway, so seeing a Widescreen/LBX version of this film is of great interest to me. It seems it has only been released in Widescreen/LBX on Laserdisc. Anyone have a copy of the Laserdisc they are willing to make a DVDR copy of for trade/sale?

Thanks,
-Michael
