A 2009 production, fits into Mr. Tarantiino’s work neatly between Death Proof (2007) and Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2011), an oddity which combines and re-works the two Kill Bill films, to an interesting outcome.
Unless one doesn’t consider that a new production, which takes us to 2012 for Django Unchained.
Long, at 153 minutes, it moves at a leisurely pace, while it builds, and it works.
Shot on film, and finished as a 2k DI as well as 35mm prints, the new 4k UHD Blu-ray from Universal is a solid release, highlighting Robert Richardson’s stunning cinematography.
The film stands up nicely to a bit of bottle age.
Bottom line, a gorgeous new 4k release, which is aided by a light patina of HDR10+.
Image – 5 (HDR10+)
Audio – 5 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Plays nicely with projectors – Yes
Makes use of and works well in 4k – 4.25
Highly Recommended
