This re-release is taken from a brand new fully restored hi-definition master.
This is a lie. Or as dvdcompare.net puts it:

Quote:
The film, presented in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, opens with the old Polygram logo and looks to be from an aged videotape-era master. The promotional material suggests that the release uses a ‘brand new fully restored hi definition master’, but as with the recent release of Killing Zoe this clearly isn’t the case. Perhaps there has been some kind of administrative mix-up, as this presentation displays the ‘clipped’, flattened contrast of VHS era masters, with highlights being blown out and detail lost in the shadows. (This has a concomitant effect on the skin tones, with many of the actors looking sickly throughout.) In fact, there's little to no difference between the Blu-ray release and Fabulous Films' accompanying DVD release of the title.
