...well... ahh... almost, but not quite correct: the film is transferred at 1.66:1 (there is no 'fool screen' on the disc!)... also, it is (still) not anamorphic (very unusual, in my experience, since generally the French do 'anamorphize' 1.66:1 films - witness one Buñuel and several Chabrol and Truffaut titles in my DVD 'Collection')... see also this first look at the Limited (to 25000 numbered copies) édition collector...
...released under the Gaumont-Columbia/Tristar-Home-Video banner...
...oh... and no English subtitles !...
. . . :frowning: . . .

I just recently graphically compared the Criterion vs. R2 BFI Salo, Here:

The Criterion is cropped...
Cheers,
