This gives Junuh the ability to swing a golf club again with a certain level of authority. As he regains control of his golf game, Junuh discovers that Bagger's words are also able to help him piece together the rest of his fractured existence. Michael Ballhaus' warm, nostalgic cinematography is truly well served by the fine transfer, which produces an exceedingly pleasing image that is sharp and very well defined. Colors are rich and vibrant, while flesh tones appear completely natural. Neither chroma noise nor bleeding ever effect color reproduction.
Blacks are pure, plus the image provides very good shadow detail and excellent depth.
As for the film element, it is free from blemishes, although noticeable grain does make an appearance from time to time. Digital compression artifacts are well concealed by dual layer authoring. The Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtrack is quite nice, with a subtle but effective mix. Directional sound effects are rarely overwhelming, but they are realized with remarkable clarity and total believability. Ambient sounds are used effectively throughout the film to create wonderfully natural sonic environments.
