I wonder if the people carping on DNR are watching on a Dynex LCD...

In Bluray.com's screen shots, if you look at the shot of the boys in the wagon, you can just about detect a barely perceptible halo along the mountain ridge in the distance. But that could also be an effect of the inherent contrast between the darker (forest) and lighter (sky) pixels, so no, this is not, shall we say, Halo City; and I didn't notice any particular halo-ing on any of the other shots, so as the wise man said, be prepared for variable mileage. Plus, it's always a pleasure to read Jeffrey Kaufman's reviews of any kind of music, as he has an encylopedic, and practical knowledge which he makes accessible. (Apologies for plugging the Other Site.)

David Watkin, was the DP on Yentl, he did Out of Africa, as well that looked nice not sure which DVD now since I have two of them and saw the captures of the dire bluray that was heavy with DNR,

Chariots of Fire, as well that looked okay on tv years ago. Memphis Belle, looks okay on DVD. Return to Oz, looked okay on tv many years ago, might still have the NICAM of it around on VHS.

I just don't like the pale colorless look of Yentl. with outdoor scenes it looks lifeless.

Catch-22, looked clear on tv years...ago.

I guess Barbara, wanted a dreamy like pale muted colour look. Its a solid pass for me. I'll buy cat food for the cat instead. Its one bluray I can do without.

I have seen the disc on a 3.5m wide screen and there is sharpening visible. I said nothing about DNR. There might have been some noise processing in some shots. I noticed no obvious artifacts in that regard.

This film holds up and Barbra can hold her head up high! That ending scene with Many is so real.

Yentyl looks great- watched it last night. The color scheme reminded me of Heaven's Gate - almost sepia looking in its color scheme. The details of the clothing and interior libraries,etc were spot on. No complaints here.
