I had read the reviews of this film and the split screen version seemed to get the best comments, so that is what I rented.

What a mistake !!!

I should have opted for the normal version.

The screen is split into three separate views of the same scene.

My TV has a 40' screen and the three views were quite small, so if you have a smaller screen, it would be almost impossible to view.

The story was quite good though and I really enjoyed it, but the screen being split into three small pictures just makes the film come across as 'Pretentious and Arty-Farty' and ruined it for me.

I would like to watch A.K.A. again, but next time, it would be the normal version.
