I know A24 doesn't own the others but it'd be cool to get some more UHD Glazer releases, *cough* Sexy Beast *cough*

[scarletlion]

Wow. Looks a beauty. Crank up that audio.

[Kyle15]

$35 for 4k? Sounds like a pricing booboo. I was expecting at least $45. Anyway, bought!!

[nicwood]

Jealous of all ze Yankees that don't have to pay A24's shipping as this appears to be the best edition of the film with the inclusion of the Atmos track compared to 5.1 on the two international 4Ks.

They own Under the Skin in the US.

That's the price for their standard size editions.

[eightslicesofpie]

Bought so quickly

I was preparing for this to get the A24 Shop treatment. Took them long enough.

Surprised that there's a commentary track for a documentary. Heck, I'm surprised enough it even has some bonuses given the subject matter.

Sure hope Mica Levi's score, or rather the ones that weren't removed from the final cut, will get a release down the line.

Beau is Afraid … still waiting for a 4K with Atmos

I struggled to keep my eyes open for this one in the theater, but I'm willing to give it another shot. I'm actually convinced the theater I saw it in had faulty audio, as it seemed very thin and hollow, which was not at all what people had led me to expect.

SAME.

I don't have a crazy setup or anything at home (Just a sound bar + sub + 2 rear speakers), but in theaters the audio track was SO weird. Like I couldn't even tell people were talking at certain points. It was only the inclusion of subtitles that I was like "Oh, there's dialogue happening?"

[BluProofie]

Cancelled my order of the German release and bought this.

[spf781]

Ordered in the blink of an eye.

I'll take that as well

[PowellPressburger]

Just wish we could get BIRTH on blu, I’d prefer 4K but a Blu would be nice even from WB Archive

Or else license it to Arrow and give us a 4K

Nah, almost the entire movie is 3.1 so was the Dolby Atmos home mix. It was by design. Some brief audio at the intro and end credits.

“One thing that plays in its favor is we did a very detailed Dolby Atmos mix, with all sorts of sounds around us,” he explained. “It was very accurate and pinpoint to, you know, trains behind us and planes overhead and everything. But we ended up withdrawing the bandwidth on that and narrowing everything, because we felt that sensationalized it. The majority of the film sound actually exists alongside the dialogue, not in the auditorium, but on the front wall of the screen, because it just felt more documentary and less glossy.”


Drawing back on the scope of the sounds and centralizing them to a theater’s front speakers matches up great with the home environment, Burn said — most people watching the movie at home will be using TV speakers or sound bars. That’s not the only design work he did for the separate eventual home version of the movie.

“For the home entertainment versions, I did do a slightly separate mix, with the background sounds ever so slightly louder,” he said. “In a cinema, it’s very quiet, and the cinema speakers can play something very loud. So you have that enormous range, whereas in anyone’s home, there’s a washing machine on, and the speakers can only go that loud. […] So you have less to play with in terms of your lowest point or your loudest point.

Haven't seen this yet but it's on MAX, so will watch it there first and see if I dig it enough to own.
