Man, Woman & The Wall (2007) Softcore Romance Thriller from Japan

Quiet Earth's Review of Man, Woman, and the Wall

This Japanese softcore thriller? starring AV star Sora Aoi starts out slow, but turned out better than expected (perhaps due to very low expectations). I picked this up with rest of cheap Taiwan Blu-rays and this had the worst PQ of the bunch. Not only is the image worse than typical SD DVD, the picture aspect ratio is squeezed. I think the OAR should have been ~1.78 or 1.85, but the picture is encoded ~2.00 resulting in everyone appearing short and fat. This is specially disappointing when the end credit is interspersed with true HD gallery images from the movie.

Video: 1080p24 encoded in AVC - Actual video quality is on par with VHS and image is squeezed.
Audio: Japanese PCM 5.1 or DD 5.1
Subtitles: Optional traditional and simplified Chinese, English
Extras: Trailer for Yo-yo Girl Cop
