The 1.85:1 transfer from Universe for the most part looks sharp and detailed but some scenes are plagued by softness and slight grain. Could've been a little better considering it's a recent film.

Audio comes in Cantonese Dolby Digital 5.1, Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 and a Mandarin 2.0 dub. Being a very dialoguedriven movie most action takes place in the center. When the calm music kicks in, the front stage is very nicely used. Surrounds are used less frequently for this. Good mix.

The English subtitles are excellent but should've been placed entirely on the picture, not partly on the black widescreen border. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included.

Extras come in the form of Star's files for Derek Yee, Ann Hui, Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui and Karena Lam. In an odd movie Universe have only provided English files for Jacky and Anita and the rest are in Chinese only. Trailers for July Rhapsody, Inner Senses and Tiramisu are also on the disc.
