The DVD from Amazon.com


Does anyone know if the DVD currently available at Amazon.com is the Artisan version that everyone says is a must to avoid (bad sound quality, full-screen format)or an improved widescreen version? I would love to get this film but don't want to shell out the $$ if the quality is worse than my VHS tape!

Is the sound better on the widescreen version? I'm loving this movie but no subtitles and crap sound are bothering me.
TIA
