How Does the DVD Look?
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and enhanced for widescreen TV's the print provided by Panorama Distribution is solid. Excellent contrast, great degree of detail, convincing color-scheme, and lack of any damage that I can detect, provide the film with just what you would expect: a deserving presentation. My only complaint with this disc is the sporadic appearance of minor digital noise which should be mostly noticeable on larger TV screens.
How Does the DVD Sound?
Presented with two different tracks a 2.0 and 5.1 mixes (mixed English, Thai, Japanese, Korean) and optional English and Chinese subtitles the audio is indeed on par with the video presentation. The actors' speech is crystal clear and silence is indeed well addressed: the ambient aura of the film is quite well handled. I don't have any reservations here other than perhaps the lack of English subtitles for the portions of the film where the actors speak in English.
