well, this is getting off topic, but...
in the theatre, PAL and NTSC mean absolutely nothing. The movie runs along at 23.976 frames per second. That's progressive if you want to be picky. It's the same in every PAL country as it is in every NTSC country, because theatres don't use TV's to show their product. They use a film projector. Somebody comes along and sits down with a camera and starts shooting the movie. Their camera happens to shoot at 25 frames per second, because cameras are made to work with television systems (not theatres). They shoot the movie in real time because they're sitting there just like everybody else, and they haven't managed to figure out how to warp time yet, so the camera (or TS) is the same length as the actual movie release.
as stated earlier, the PAL shortening only applies to DVD releases where the studios actually do just speed up the film to 25 fps. For NTSC systems, the studios apply a 3:2 pulldown, which means they repeat half the frames twice and half the frames once in order ot get up to the 60 fields shown on NTSC televisions (12x2 + 12x3 = 60). By doing so, the NTSC DVD release is the same length as the actual film even though it's a very different framerate.
this release is dark but watchable. audio is excellent.
