In The Garden Of Good And Evil. This is a nice transfer to be sure, but some small problems still emerge. The main trouble concerns the source print, which shows some grain and also a few wear signs from time to time. This isn't a serious problem by any means, but it lowers the score and is worth mentioning. The colors seem bright and natural, with no smears and flesh tones look normal at all times.
Contrast looks smooth also, with high detail level and deep, complex shadows.
This film doesn't have much audio power, so the included stereo surround is more than adequate. The music seems to fit the film well and this mix makes it sound full and immersive. The sound effects usually remain reserved, but some surround use is evident though not much. This isn't a powerful mix to be sure, but since the material doesn't need it to be I won't complain much. The dialogue sounds very good here and has a nice crisp ring to it, with no volume problems I could detect.
