Strange, that after writing a few words about The Pink Panther on Blu-ray, and using the word "sideways" in reference to the photographic process, that we move along to a few words about...
I loved Sideways when it arrived in theaters, and when it arrived on DVD, its charm was still intact, but the look of the film was gone. Sideways has a beautiful, smooth, hazy look to it, which is difficult to capture on standard definition DVD.
Now on Blu-ray, I'm thrilled that Sideways looks as it did in theaters -- precisely like film.
Thank you, Fox Home Entertainment!
One anomaly that I continue to see is the use of a Fox Searchlight logo inconsistent with the quality and resolution of Blu-ray, as banding and digital problems are extremely evident. A higher resolution logo would be a nice addition for future releases.
Any discussion of the plot would create a damaged first viewing, so I won't go there. Suffice to say that whether your personal taste leans toward a nice merlot, a pinot noir, or even a huge shiraz, Sideways will be a film long remembered in every delicious detail.
Very Highly Recommended.
