"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: My last screening in the Ang Lee selectrospective, a 35mm presentation that almost wasn’t. For a moment it looks like a ★★★★½ print, that is until a shot of the mountains the first time Ennis and Jack are herding the sheep, then the condition takes a drastic dip for the rest of the reel, with a cut occurring when Ennis returns from the bear incident. The print from then on, while in perfectly fine condition, suffers from prominent dust and sc"
