I heard on NPR this morning that this incredible film was available to buy on DVD.
First thing at work, I did the typically search to see who had the best price. Oddly, I found what look to be *three* different DVD packages of the movie:
Single Disc at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Water/dp/B000E...708821?ie=UTF8
2-Disc at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Water/dp/B000E...708821?ie=UTF8
Yet another version at deep discount DVD:

Ok, what gives?
My gut says to go for the 2-disc SE, but my real agenda here is to get a version with a decent 16x9 transfer. I know how these bollywood-type films can often be... typically they have horrendous image quality and are often 4x3 lbx.
Does anyone have any knowledge of which DVD is "the" DVD to get the best image quality? Your help is greatly appreciated!!! This film was stunning in 35 mm and I really want the DVD not to mess with that experience beyond the format's inherent compromise of 720 x 480 resolution.
thanks!!!
