The DVD:

Picture: Anamorphic Widescreen. Picture details, in general, are pretty good. The print is clean and free from any spots or dirt. The color is relatively vibrant, though it does have a slightly muted levels like most of K Kurosawa's works. Likewise sharpness is well rendered. The only real complaint is with the contrast and grain, which yields a grayer, noisier pallette in some of the darker scenes.

Sound: Dolby Digital 5.1, 2.0, and DTS tracks, Japanese language with optional English or Spanish subtitles. The mix is very good. Dialogue is clear and centered. The subtitle translation appears free from any glaring flaws. The real standout is the score, which is perfect for the oddly toned film.

Extras: Trailer-- "Making of Doppleganger" Featurette (19:33).-- Kiyoshi Kurosawa Interview (5:18).-- Tartan release trailers.

Conclusion: It is a good DVD, with even the brief 5 min interview giving good insight into just what was going on in the director's head.
