When I got an Oppo region free player, I did a raid on Amazon UK and scooped up a bunch of films that aren't available in the US. Now I'm like a kid in a candy store...
Last night I screened Tabu (1931) F. W. Murnao. WHAT AN AMAZING TRANSFER! Crystal clear, good sound, perfect contrasts... beautiful! The best thing about it was the aspect ratio. They got it correct with the taller "newsreel" format. I'm pretty sure that every time I've seen this before, it was cropped to Academy- probably off 16mm. This print comes directly from the Murnao archive. I recommend this one highly.
