This is really loving annoying. I was thinking about dropping the veritable wad of cash on this one, but this just seems like a screw up. Isn't Criterion supposed to use the best version of the film out there? What say does the cinematographer really have in it at this point?

In this instance the cinematographer has a contractual right to supervise, review and approve all re-masterings. This is unusual but not unknown. Storaro oversaw the new digital re-mastering and was responsible with Bertolucci for choosing the aspect ratio. That is their determination of what the best version is, not yours, unfortunately.

Image is releasing the cheaper version as Image was licensed the rights originally and Image owns Criterion (I don't know if that fact has been mentioned previously - hope I am not repeating, but I could not wade through many pages to check).
