I’ve made note numerous times in my comments that a DVD is to a film, as a black and white Xerox is to an illuminated manuscript.
Having now had some time to spend with Mr. Cameron’s new Special Collector’s Edition of his film, Titanic, I feel secure in stating that this DVD, especially when compared to the original release, is the Illuminated Manuscript of our current format DVDs.
There can be no doubt that this is splendid filmmaking of the highest level.
The telling of a small personal tale within the majestic surroundings of the larger story is an art in itself. I firmly believe that Sir David would be first on line to shake Mr. Cameron’s hand in his accomplishment.
From the elegant packaging in the color of a certain blue diamond, to the perfect break in the film, allowing the two discs to hold and exhibit the film in the possible highest quality, Paramount’s new Collector’s Edition of Titanic should please even the pickiest cinephile.
This DVD allows the full majesty, romance and ceaseless wonder of this tale to make its way to your home theatre in the finest imaginable quality.
In short, this DVD of Titanic is superb in every respect.
A home video triumph.
