The uplifting part of this issue, is that ten or twelve years ago, the majority would be praising the removal of all that "nasty" film grain. Remember Universal's initial blu-rays? Take a look a some of those titles: Buck Privates, Out Of Africa, Brokeback Mountain. Anyone popping those into their player today would be aghast. The irony is, the 12 year old blu ray of American Graffiti looks better now, than the shiny new 4K UHD. So the fact that just about everyone has panned this release, is really cause for celebration!But there’s a purpose, and the other side of the coin, in that I believe the filmmaker desired a certain look - either for himself or “Joe sixpack,” and that has been achieved to perfection.
