This DVD-R edition has been mastered from a fair 16mm reduction print that has the normal amount of dust, speckling, emulsion scuffing, long vertical scratches, and other print flaws.

The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from low-fidelity preexisting music recordings.

Watchable. For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
