I heard some talk on the Biblical thread, nothing resent though.

Yep, got it some time ago and posted as much in the biblical / historical epic tread. I found it soft, filtered and flat for a new release and what I believe was called a restoration. A lot better of course than the DVD but that is not really much of an accomplishment.

Biblical-Roman-Egyptian epics not yet on Blu-ray

Patiently waiting until the blu-ray of Sodom and Gomorrah (Sodom und Gomorrha) isn't "derzeit nicht auf lager" or currently out of stock over at Amazon.de. Supposedly it was released on December 9. I keep checking over at Explosive-Media GmbH which sends me directly to Amazon.de. I notice a...

I find it very funny that Steward Grainger is playing Lot,Abrahams Brother...clean shaven? Like it was normal for Jews to be beardless!!! For me a major problem, LOL!!! When they say Loosely Based...man they mean it!!!

There are 2 versions on it. The full uncut version is best. The transfer looks great! There is a fantastic video essay by Glenn Erickson which is a fascinating story about the making of the film. The blu ray is All region.

Glenn Erickson is indeed an asset to this release, he is a lot of fun to read and listen to.

Yes, I thought it was a good transfer, considering its age and whatever shape the materials were in. (I only watched the complete version, on the second, "1973" disc, along with Cinesavant's thorough audio essay.) The decades-old LD wasn't all that hot and what followed seemed to take after it, getting progressively worse. Recommended. (I got it through JPC.de--Amazon.de never seemed to have it, or if it did only briefly--and it's now available Stateside via Diabolik.)

It is certainly cursed with some kind of denoising but still beats the DVD by some margin.
As it's the only (1080p) game in town I grudgingly kept it.

Thank u very much!

Got mine some weeks ago and I concur that it looks pretty damned good in my estimation. Haven't seen both versions yet but have another peplum enthusiast over next week to view the one I haven't yet seen. Very happy customer here.

I purchased it from Amazon.de

As did I: Amazon.de.

The Blur-ray is on back order and considering a Pal dvd is 576i versus NTSC 480i the Pal DVD may look decent. The dvd comes with both versions so maybe I will order the dvd for now.

 

[PatrickDA]

I fully support Sodom, but I'm against Gomorrah!

I found the picture quality to be pretty good. As for the score, No Overture, Entr'acte, or Epilogue. Some of the Overture plays in the setup menu. But it is the best quality I've seen on home video.
