What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives both 1.33:1 and 1.78:1 aspect ratios, and calls the format both Full Screen and Multiple Formats. It does not map each ratio or format to a specific film, so the presentation details remain unclear. The title identifies this as a DVD, not Blu-ray.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • Viewers interested in experimental documentary and self-reflexive filmmaking.
  • Collectors seeking a Criterion DVD with multiple films related to William Greaves’s project.

Less suited to

  • Buyers looking specifically for a Blu-ray edition.
  • Viewers who need a single, clearly specified aspect ratio for the complete release.

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller portion are one-star and the sample is limited. This supports only a cautious indication of varied buyer satisfaction. It does not reveal which aspects viewers liked or disliked, or establish performance beyond the listed films and formats.
