Personligt er jeg meget godt tilfreds. Kan den blive bedre? Uden tvivl i Criterions hænder, men den er sgu imponerende stadig i HD på et stort lærred.

Our goal at DVDBeaver is to disseminate knowledge of important films looking the best on DVD. Sometimes we succeed. I am very proud to acknowledge this Blu-ray of Black Narcissus is now one of the most prized discs I own (and I own a lot).

DVDTalk: 5/5
Video: Breathtaking. Black Narcissus is one of the most startlingly beautiful films I've had the leasure of experiencing in high definition, and its release on Blu-ray is absolute perfection. This world-class remastering of Black Narcissus is warm, natural, and consistently film-like, easily ranking among the most exceptional Blu-ray presentations I've seen, regardless of age. Like The Seventh Seal, Casablanca, and The Adventures of Robin Hood before it, this disc proves that it's more than just CGI-era blockbusters that stand to benefit from the richer colors and massive boost in resolution that high definition has to offer.

DVDTimes: 8/10
Last year's R2 discs of this film were a revelation in terms of quality and Noel wrote a fine appreciation of the excellent French set which you can find in the side-panel of this review. In watching this new Blu-ray, I took some time to compare it with that treatment and as welcome as this great film getting a hi-def transfer is I am unsure that the improvement in detail is as great as you would hope for. The French transfer is less sharp but skintones seem much more cool and the colour stability issue Noel mentions is far less noticeable on that transfer. Watching the two side by side, I did prefer the French disc's handling of colour and felt that grain was less apparent. The new Granada Blu-ray does highlight the dirt on the transfer and the grain, see above in the shot of Flora Robson's robes, and with more vibrant colours the changes in hue caused by the "three strip process" are much more noticeable. Edges have been given a helping hand and I do wonder if some contrast and colour boosting may have been used as well. The new treatment is welcome though and perhaps my hopes were too high for this peculiarly beautiful film.

This video transfer of Black Narcissus is similar to the video transfer of Brief Encounter. Although it did not receive a full digital restoration for Blu-ray like Brief Encounter, it is still boasts a magnificent transfer.

#2272 Har haft den på her til aften. Ser vidunderlig ud! Stilmæssigt forud for sin tid!

For det første, skal det slås fast, at historien om russernes overgreb på den tyske civilbefolkning og især kvinderne, absolut er interessant ud fra et historisk perspektiv, blot er det ærgerligt, at man den flotte produktion til trods, ikke formår at røre publikum mere. Well, det rørte ihvertfald ikke mig særligt før til sidst.

Alle sten som kan vendes i WW2 konflikten og give os informationer, er nødvendig for vor forståelse af de mange afskyelige handlinger i denne enorme krig. Tyskerne var nogle svin i Sovjetunionen og Sovjetunionen var nogle svin i Tyskland. I mine øjne er begge nationer lige skyldige i krigsforbrydelser. Hitler og Stalin var afskyelige mennesker, med afskyelige visioner. Nazisme og kommunisme er menneskefornedrende ideologier, som taler til det værste i folk.

Anonyma er en hæderlig faktuel beretning, men uden energien og de skuespilspræstationer, som skal forføre os og få os til at tage historien til os.

3/6

Ebert siger two thumbs up

Jeg vil tro at den digitale kopi er forskellen. Det skidt plejer jo at fylde en skive.
