215 - The Knife in the Water
 

The Criterion collection 215

Knife in the Water is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. This new high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine from a new 35mm fine-grain master positive manufactured from the original camera negative, with the participation of Roman Polanski. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removing using the MTI Digital Restoration System. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the original optical tracks, and restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle.
