Content Description
Japanese pressing of Robert Redford's acclaimed 1992 drama A River Runs Through It, starring Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer, Tom Skerritt, Brenda Blethyn, and Emily Lloyd. Based on Norman Maclean's autobiographical novella, the film follows two brothers in early 20th century Montana bound together by their love of fly fishing and their Presbyterian minister father. Music by Mark Isham; directed and produced by Robert Redford.
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Cinematography (第65回アカデミー賞撮影賞受賞), as noted in the Japanese back cover text. The back cover also notes that this Japanese LD pressing was mastered from an interpositive film source via Hi-Vision telecine for maximum picture fidelity — a point of pride explicitly called out in the Japanese liner notes, and a meaningful detail for videophile collectors.
This pressing includes シーン・チャプター付き (scene chapter stops). Presented in widescreen Vista size matching the theatrical aspect ratio.
Both discs are present (visible in disc photo — Pioneer LDC teal label).
