For All Seasons , if just because it taught me a little about a subject that is largely unknown to me. However, it proceeds in such a bland and stiff manner that I could muster no affection or excitement for it. It stands as a perfect representation of the dull, serious dramas that have often won Best Picture Academy Awards, and that's not meant as a compliment. Only the widescreen side was screened for this review. Sharpness usually appears very crisp and well-defined, with only a few occasions during which the image looks vaguely fuzzy or blurred.
Colors are a little inconsistent but generally look strong.
Black levels always seem very deep and dark, and shadow detail looked appropriately opaque. Although it obviously remains a modest affair, the film's mono sound seems quite good. Music appears infrequently but seems adequately crisp and bright when it does. Effects are very mellow as well, and they sound clear and acceptably realistic. Since it's a chatty movie, the speech is the most important aspect of this soundtrack, and it works well.
