229 - Scenes from a Marriage
 

The Criterion Collection 229

Scenes from a Marriage is presented in its original 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 the original 16mm negative A/B cut and was restored using both Quantel and IQ Inferno Restoration Systems, removing thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the original 35mm magnetic print, and audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The Dolby Digital 1.0 signal will be directed to the center channel on 5.1-channel sound systems, but some viewers may prefer to switch to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound.
