Re: HTF Blu-Ray Review: Youth Without Youth - Recommended
As I said in my thread about this movie in the SD area, I really love it. I saw it in the theater a couple months back. It is deeply philosophical and requires a lot of intense thought on the part of the viewer (and I still do not understand it completely), which I think is at least part of why it hasn't been too warmly received. But it's a great piece that will reward those who are willing to commit to it. I'm looking forward to getting to analyze it further upon repeat viewings with the Blu-ray. It's one of the most beautifully shot movies I've ever seen too, and especially since Coopola shot it hi-def, I can't wait to see what it looks like on Blu for myself. Thanks for the review -- it is disappointing that the one featurette is nonanamorphic, but there seems to be some meat to these bonus features which is more than I was expecting. The music one in particular should be interesting.
\"Lot 666 then: a chandelier in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of The Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never fully explained. We are told, ladies and gentelmen, that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster. Our workshops have repaired it and fitted up parts of it with wiring for the new electric light, so that we may get a hint of what it may look like when reassembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination, gentelmen?\"
-- Andrew Lloyd Webber\'s \"The Phantom of the Opera\"
