A great film - but a poor DVD
This is a very good film, based on a cracking book, but the transfer, sound and sreen ratio on this DVD is very poor.
The transfer: Washed out and full of artifacts. The sound: Pops, crackles and 'dingy' music. Worst of all is the feeble pan and scan screen ratio. It starts off in wide screen, drops to 4:3, and usually all you can see is the background and the tips of the actors' noses. All in all, a great movie, completely ruined by a terrible dvd transfer. Wait until it comes on TV, if you want to see it. |
