  • One of my favourite films of any genre. If you have the DVD version, it has a split screen feature showing the print before and after restoration. The difference is incredible, the damage is cleaned up, the contrast enhanced and frame jitter eradicated. I assumed they have used this restored print for the Blu-ray version. I will probably buy the Blu-ray for comparison, but I love the DVD version as the picture quality is very natural and filmic (upscale 1080p over HDMI) and other Blu-ray discs I have whilst looking impressive, somehow don't look natural.
