| Panorama presents the film in an anamorphically enhanced aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Palette is clearly designed to be washed out and mostly it's a well balanced transfer. Some grain and low detail is evident early but isn't a concern as we roll along.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0 track lacks the punch and ambience that the 5.1 track in the same language possesses, even when downmixed to 2.0 for Pro Logic receivers like mine. The latter selection is therefore more recommended. Cantonese DTS ES 5.1 and Mandarin Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0 options are also included.
The English subtitles comes with no grammar errors but choices in translation doesn't always feel very classy. These are just select moments in an otherwise non-problematic translation. Traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles are also available.
After producing several fine special editions, Panorama disappoints with this release. Not only is the making of (20 minutes, 1 second) the only substantial extra, it's also lacking an English subtitle track. The program goes through the participants as you expect, mixed up with film clips and slight behind the scenes footage. Most interesting pieces appears during Karena Lam's parts, showing the make-up process and some of the strains that comes with it. Make-up artist Mark Garbarino is also featured in some minor sound bites discussing his work. Remainder of the extras are trailers for Election, Everlasting Regret and Drink Drank Drunk. None for Home Sweet Home though. |
