| Thankfully Universe opted to present the film in a anamorphically enchanced 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The design is consciously muted and the transfer replicates that very well with no apparent damage on the print to boot.
Only one language track is available and that is a Dolby Digital 2.0 one. Mandarin is the dominant language and dialogue sounds clear throughout while music spreads out very nicely, mainly in the front, when employed.
The English subtitles feature no problems asides from an error or two in structure. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included. Again, Universe has placed the subtitles set up under the special features menu but there's also some actual special features there as well.
I wish Hong Kong dvd companies would be consistent in regards to English subtitled extras, which means that we on this disc again get a Chinese subbed only making of (15 minutes, 11 seconds). Except for the odd shot of Arthur Wong at work, there's not much for here to gather unless you know Cantonese or Mandarin.
The Music Video by Karena Lam is purely based on movie clips but the song is a nice Canto-pop ditty. Jimmy Art Gallery showcases 5 of Jimmy Liao's paintings that were incorporated into the film via the ending animation sequence. Photo Gallery (20 stills) is an unexciting gathering of your usual movie stills while the Star's Files for Karena Lam, Ekin Cheng and Liu Ye only provides filmographies.
Trailers for The Floating Landscape, The Death Curse, My Dream Girl and Together finishes the disc. |
