John Boorman's The Emerald Forest is a beautiful film from 1985 shot by Philippe Rousselot. It was re-mastered about ten years ago, and released by Kino, but without the bit rate that it really demanded.
Now, Kino is re-issuing the film with an audio commentary, but the reason, presuming you appreciate the film, is that the bitrate is doubled, and the results can be seen on screen.
Back a decade ago, there were occasional bits of dirt, which interestingly remain. That dirt may have been caused by the negative being printed for a few 70mm blow-ups.
Image – 8
Audio – 10 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
Worth your attention - 7
Slipcover rating - 1
