Title: Not at all GURU-vy
Product review: The DVD version of Andy Milligan's GURU, THE MAD MONK is definitely not GURU-vy. While it's commendable that the anti-Master's films are becoming available on DVD, a certain amount of respect must be paid to consumers when coming up with good source materials. Granted, Milligan's features were never visually arresting, but the print used for the DVD is a worn, battered 35mm blowup from 16mm print. A gray market version of the film I have in my collection is vastly superior, time code at the bottom and all.The one improvement appears to be in sound quality. You can hear Neal Flannagan's pointy bishop hat crinkle like the hasty paper creation it actually is! A fun 17-minute documentary with set photographer Thomas Vozza (who worked with Milligan on MONSTROSITY and WEIRDO) is included.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
