| The Universe dvd has presents the movie in the original aspect ratio 1.85:1. Overall the print used is very watchable but suffers from some of the usual stuff. Print defects are present in the form of specks and lines for a number of scenes and there's also a softness over the print. The latter issue can be applied to the cinematography but I'm not entirely sure.
The sound comes in Dolby Digital 5.1 in both cantonese and mandarin. I'm guessing the original mix was mono and that is quite easily heard in this remix. This is more of a dialogue movie with some scenes that are more intense soundwise. It works fairly well and I've heard worse remixjobs.
The english subtitles are optional but that is basically where the good things end. To me it felt like they were just copies of the original burnt in subtitles so there are several grammatical and spelling errors all throughout the movie. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film though. Japanese, Indonesian, malaysian, thai, korean, vietnamese, traditional chinese and simplified chinese subtitles are also included.
The supplements consists of bios (in chinese and english) for Chow Yun-Fat, Sylvia Chang and director Johnnie To. These are fairly lightweight but still has some good basic info. Finally the theatrical trailer is included which actually contains a few behind the scenes shots and most importantly Chow Yun-Fat on set talking to the camera about the movie. This is not a spoilerfree trailer though, so don't watch it before the movie. |
