| Mei Ah presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, with anamorphic enhancement. Now seemingly having completely cancelled their remastering program (although re-packaging already released films in box sets has surfaced), The First Time Is The Last Time is at the time of writing one of the last titles to come out of it. The source material reveals heavier damage at select points as well as fairly heavy grain throughout but colours and sharpness ranks as sufficient for the movie at hand.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 mono track sounds perfectly clear with only some minor distortion as sole detraction. A Mandarin 2.0 selection is also available.
The English subtitles goes "Engrish" on us a few times but keeps an above average level to the grammar and spelling otherwise. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also included. Prior versions had been plagued by the fact that the subtitles did not appear for approximately the remaining 9 minutes of the film. Mei Ah redeems this almost but the voice over during the end credits does not get translated unfortunately.
The Special Features section contains the anamorphically enhanced trailer and Mei Ah's empty Databank (a cast & crew listing and a plot synopsis screen isn't content per say). |
