PQ: 3/5
SQ: 4/5

The film’s 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio is captured in a 1080p transfer using the VC-1 codec. Sad to say, what you’ve read is true about the look of this film on Blu-ray. It’s been processed within an inch of its life so that all grain is gone and contrast has been dialed up to being slightly too hot giving the features of the actors a slightly waxen look that robs them of some detail and character. The picture is super sharp, but you can see edge enhancement often as a result of the processing. Color is rich, and blacks are stupefyingly deep, and many may actually enjoy this “video” look for the movie, but while I didn’t exactly despise it (hence the video score above), I didn’t think for a second that it looked like film. An added note: even with all of the processing, they still managed to miss some dirt specks that are still present in the image. The film has been divided into 24 chapters.

The French version from M6Video looks to be a winner.

Martin Scorsese can rejoice. M6Vidéo took great care of his film and book a Blu-Ray edition of a full dress. A picture of what the publisher had done with the enemy Intime, encoding AVC / MPEG4 made and wonders if some scenes in low light reflected leave a very slight noise, the bill simply remains generally excellent (even if the image can seem a little too smooth by time, not enough texture). The image has a magnificent dive, further enhanced by a depth of field that provides a wonderful spectacle at large. Apart from a vertical stripe on the film at the end of the first battle, the master is impeccable. The color management is exemplary and we are enjoying a burst of first choice. The compression knows when to forget and he skilfully emerges from viewing a beautiful fluidity ambient. One thing is sure, Scorsese's film found its brio
