Please help me seed this one, once you are done. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the upload, i really do appreciate the effort, but is it really necessary to compress the film so much? I think it's best to leave it at the original size so users have the option to keep the image intact or compress it as they like. Even if you do choose to compress, no need really to compress it beyond the standard DVD5 size of 4,3 GB (disc one for example is 3,66 GB). I don't want to sound ingrateful, just thought i'd share my opinion.

Because the uncompressedupload would be about 16GB and I have more shit to upload than just this. But that is an excellent question with an honest answer. People please help me seed this. Thanks.

I am so grateful for this torrent.. Criterion release means that the subtitles will be as close to the script as possible. Still downloading it, but once I'm done, I will definitely help seed. Thank you!
