Yes, Crooklyn. It's when the family goes down south to visit relatives. But it's not actually a change of ratio, because the screen is just as wide. But these scenes are filmed with an anamorphic lens, and then shown in standard wide-screen, making the picture compressed horisontaly. It was used, I believe, to give it a claustorphobic feeling. Of corse, it didn't work at all. Staalen.
