| Deltamac presents the film in a 1.76:1 aspect ratio approximately. Print is very clean while the various colouring of Lam's frame, be it subdued or strong, is presented well. Sharpness varies as this wasn't a very polished production but it's very much a serviceable transfer.
The Cantonese (with a few passages in Mandarin) Dolby Digital 5.1 track fares less well. Front stage is rarely given a workout while the whole track registers flat and slightly muffled. Dialogue is also way off the center speaker and almost half in the surrounds which requires some receiver adjustment to get right. A Mandarin 5.1 dub is also included.
The English subtitles tosses out the occasional spelling error but are well-worded otherwise. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included. The trailer is the only extra. |
