I'm a cranky old man who is resistant to change, so this one doesn't sit well with me. Charade is an absolute classic. It's stylistic as opposed to realistic, which is what modern audiences seem to prefer. It looks like they're going the realistic route here.
You can't top Audrey Hepburn. You can't top Cary Grant. And, there simply cannot be a scene to rival the beautiful boat ride, accompanied by the lovely "Charade." I'm going to take a pass on this one.
But, don't get mad. I'm not going to try to talk you out of going.
One good thing about the trailer is that it has decided my weekend movie for me. Sure, the Criterion disc isn't anamorphic and has some ringing here and there, but it's overall pretty incredible. The view of the ski slopes is breathtaking. Compared to the old videotape I was used to before I got the disc, it's a revelation. And, even if the videotape had been of good quality, I think the Criterion would still impress.
