| IVL presents the film in an aspect ratio of 1.80:1 approximately, with anamorphic enhancement. The remastered print has what looks like a designed softness to it but remains clear and seemingly faithful. The old time Shaw Brother's logo has been cropped and crudely inserted before the movie.
The Cantonese Dolby Digital 2.0 track suffers from no apparent problems. A Mandarin Dolby Digital 2.0 selection is also available.
The English subtitles exhibits very few errors (mostly then concerning grammar) and flow very well otherwise. Traditional Chinese subtitles are also included.
Standard extras-package from IVL/Celestial turns up, starting with newly created trailers for Love In A Fallen City, Cherie, Hong Kong Hong Kong and Tragic Commitment. The new one for Women is thankfully accompanied by the original trailer as well. Movie Information-section contains 10 Movie Stills, an image of the original poster, production notes that as per usual holds the synopsis and finishing is the Biography & Selected Filmography with basic bios of Cora Miao, Chow Yun-Fat, Cherie Chung and Stanley Kwan. |
