Heart in a Box - 12:09am

What's up with Francis Ford Coppola's One From the Heart, which will hit DVD on January 27th in a 4:3 full screen transfer? Just announced is D-VHS release, which will arrive day and date with the DVD, but will be presented in 1.85:1, but sans the extras included on the two-disc DVD set. Debate continues about what the proper aspect ratio of the film should be, and according to the press release: "Francis Coppola was an early proponent of high definition, and it is fitting that his experimental and innovative film would take advantage of this first incarnation of consumer high-definition delivery." Retail will be $39.95 for the D-VHS release, and we hope to get some information from Zoetrope in the days ahead regarding why the differing aspect ratios. Stay tuned.
