Enhanced Full-frame RSDL Breathtaking digital transfer is a mirror image of the original film. The dark, somber interiors and exteriors remain sharp and vital on the DVD, with amazing attention to detail that never wavers, especially in some of the darker portions of the film. The film's warm production design looks smashing, with warm earth tones and natural elements that look natural. Flesh tones are honest, while the reds and blues are striking. Shadows and grays are prevalent, and stay true.
Blacks are strong, while whites are clean.
No digital compression artifacts or noise. Depth of field is okay, but it's the nature of the beast and not a digital issue. Excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Isolated Musical Score Natural, well balanced 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround soundtrack. Dialogue mix is outstanding, allowing even the lightest whisper to punctuate the track. Rear speakers find just the right amount of activity, including ambient noise and musical cues that are cleverly layered on the soundtrack.
