I love re-visiting a favored film on HD or BD DVD and finding a winner.
The playing field has become so intense, and reviewers and bloggers so picky, that even the most beautifully sourced digital master sometimes can't make it to home plate.
John Boorman's brilliant 1972 film about four buddies trying their luck at white water canoeing down a southern river has been brought to high definition DVD so perfectly, that Mr. Boorman and his cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond must be thrilled.
When you've seen a film in a proper 35mm dye transfer print from the original release, and the DVD so beautifully reproduces that experience, the image on screen can be viscerally thrilling.
So it is with Warner's Deliverance.
A great early 1970s production, given a perfect treatment in every way.
This is as good as it gets for the look of cinema in a home theater environment.
Deliverance comes Extremely Highly Recommended.
Having viewed Deliverance in it's Blu-Ray form, I can only call it Perfect.
Just perfect!
