| Picture: Non-Anamorphic Widescreen. With its gritty urban locations, imaginative use of text messages, and well composed cinematography, the film is a visual winner. Contrast is nice and deep. Colors are a bit on the muted side. The level of grain and some print spots are disappointing on such a recent film but do not really deter from enjoying it.
Sound: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, Korean language with default English subtitles. The low key techno score is quite warm and get the best boost. Dialogue is well rendered and clear. No complaints.
Extras: The Korean release features some deleted scenes, non-English subbed directors commentary, and other goodies. Sadly all Kino offers is a stills gallery, trailer for the film, plus trailers for Blind Shaft and The Return.
Conclusion: It's a shame they didn't port over some of the extras from the Korean release and, likewise, make the transfer anamorphic. Still, for Asian cinephiles, the film is a nice little drama worth giving a casual look. |
