![]() Even the clean-up job is impressive, wiping out just about all imperfections, the only real issue I noticed being some fading on the edges of the screen a few times. The transfer was clean and stable, presenting natural looking grain, no noticeable digital tinkering, and a wonderfully filmic quality. So, to a certain extent I was very pleased with what we got, and the first 21-minutes look great. Still, many will have their personal preference on this and will probably prefer the colours used for all of the other releases since the DVD. I was more than fine with it and I wouldn’t be surprised if colours were closer to this when it was released and the look works for the film. Black levels are also very good and crushing wasn’t an issue. They can still look fairly vibrant and the reds (found in the blood particularly) are the strongest aspect. Here the colours are noticeably washed out a little more, though they aren’t overly dull. It’s incredibly crisp, and easily the sharpest I’ve ever seen the film.Ĭolours do differ a bit in comparison to every release since MGM’s 2001 DVD. Textures are particularly superb, at times looking like you can reach out and touch them, and the sense of depth is also fairly strong (though this is hampered a bit by an issue I’ll touch on later). Touching on the good aspects first the image is razor sharp with stunning detail, improving over Arrow’s presentation which looks a little muddy and fuzzy in comparison. ![]() This may be one of the more frustrating presentations to come from Criterion because you can see how amazing it would have turned out if it wasn’t for one rather huge glaring issue. In the meantime, here is an excerpt from Galloway's review: "LOOKS GREAT" UP UNTIL THE POINT WHERE ANGIE DICKINSON RUNS OUT OF THE MUSEUMĪ review of Criterion's upcoming Dressed To Kill package posted a couple of days ago by Criterion Forum's Chris Galloway states that "the first 21-minutes look great," but that after that, the transfer gets very obviously "horizontally squished." With the early reviews all highlighting aspect ratio issues with the transfer, many are expecting some kind of forthcoming response from Criterion, prior to the August 18 release date. 'DTK' SQUISHED AFTER 21-MINUTE MARK - REVIEW Please keep this in mind as you navigate this list. ![]() For instance, a post that discusses both The Boston Stranglers and The Demolished Man may only be labeled one or the other. ![]() This means that some topics may have been discussed in posts labeled otherwise.
