I am unsure why every time grain is brought into review discussions it is always referred to as
bad. I have not seen the disc in question but just a few days ago had the pleasure of seeing ITV DVD-Granada's treatment of
Black Narcissus which reveals an enormous amount of grain. And I could not be any happier with the results as it hands down beats any SDVD presentation I have seen before (and I do own the 2DVD French release). Yes, there was substantially less grain on the SDVD release but it is that much less impressive placed next to the BD.
I hope you do not take this post the wrong away but I am certainly at the point where I believe that the more we talk about grain and why it is on the BDs we buy the better. I am aware of past discussions on this forum addressing the same subject and suffice to say I won't tire of defending the idea of having on BR what the director intended not what some studio DNR applicator assumed
film should look like.
