Notes:

Ahhh, SFI did it again - the transfer here is not 16:9 enhanced, so even though the source material was in a very good shape (there's not a blemish to be seen anywhere***), the picture looks like crap when zoomed-in on a big screen. ;-(
Extras are a different matter - I can't but recommend this DVD solely for the opportunity to see Martin Šulík's early short films!

Notes:

Given the framing matches that of the old DVD, there's what I can only assume is a glitch starting at 1:18:08.00 (frame 112512) where the picture is *excessively* zoomed in (actors' heads cut off!) then snaps back mid-scene at 1:19:00.20 (frame 113780) skipping a frame at the "cut" too. What the plonk is that?! :-O
