Italian Forom:
The Italian bluray (Midnight aka Koch) supposedly (uses most of a bd50) has much better compression than the French.
As regards the aspect ratio over an an Italian forum someone picked up on the fact peoples irises are actually round on the 2k remaster where as on the Arrow/Fox they are not, this is followed by someone with a photographic background explaining why this could be and is to do eith the filmimg process.

Question : As for the aspect ratio, I have a question for the technicians: why are some objects oblong vertically but the eyes of people (irises) are perfectly circular?
Answer : Aspect Ratio: Do you know what? That I have covered the DVD and then the BD Midnight and the DVD FOX is dilated horizontally (the eyes and faces are very slightly enlarged), so if Arrow has the same format I know that the right format is Midnight. I have watched and covered a thousand round objects "in focus" and are round. If we consider the objects out of focus the question is very complicated because the optics and their optical scheme take over. Since perfect optics do not exist, there is not even perfect blur; I say this because in the photographic world there is a misfortune to have the objective X and the objective Y as well as that Z, perhaps of the same focal length, only because the blur are different and are different, among the various factors, also for the geometric one. A circle in focus is a circle, a blurred circle can be a circle, an oval, an "almond", a "bezel" ... ... depends on the scheme, the distance, the opening, the position of the object in the plane ......... I stop here.
I, the biased party, I found a good view and a good feeling, but above all I found it very film-like, in the true sense of the term.
