The Nordic / German / Spanish R2 disc is NOT OPTICALLY CENSORED!
No xaniox. El de Fileheaven no tiene franjas negras incorporadas en la imagen. Aparte de que no dejan postar ripeos si no están recortados (a no ser en la seccion esa de Lesser quality releasesSi te refieres al que hay en este HILO de Fileheaven, que es el mismo que puse AQUI en DXC, es el mismo y lleva las franjas negras.
This isn't a case of censorship (totally). Before I get pounced on, here's the reason. I
was reading through an old Sight & Sound a long time ago, and I stumbled on an
essay/article about Vanessa Redgrave's 'nudity' in the film. More-or-less, what it
boils down to is that the film was shot open-matte, and that the nudity was kept at
the very bottom of the screen so as it would be matted out in theatrical presentation.
Remember, this isn't the time of DVD, etc. and I assume (with reservations) that
Antonioni intended for her breasts to be kept out of the frame. The actor was doing
the nude scene nude (which would make sense, I guess, even in the cases were no
physical nudity will be seen on camera), but that she wasn't planning on anything
been seen.
The joke from the S&S article was that certain movie houses were advertising the fact
that they would deliberately **misframe** the film during the nude parts so as to let
their customers see what they 'weren't supposed to.' And as we've had discussions
about open-frame/matte-ing, just because there is a full 1.33 picture in the camera
negative doesn't mean that all of it was intended to be seen, or 1.33 is the correct
ratio. If the reason you're worried about the Redgrave stuff is because you want to
make sure you're seeing the integral version, then the theatrically-matted version
would be the one that Antonioni approved for original theatrical release (i.e. the
integral version).
The Redgrave boob-tape has always been a popular pirate item, probably not because
people think they're seeing the correct framing ratio.
About the orgy scene, I don't know.
