Title: Great DVD mastering; fantastic dirction/music/editing
Product review: The title ought to say it all. I was extremely impressed by the attention paid to the DVD (as another reviewer mentioned) by MGM - it's nearly flawless. Some parts of the film are deviant - even grossly disgusting - but that's the point. Hannibal is a diseased individual, and excessive gore is how the depiction of the character's mental state was achieved. I thought this visual representation was done quite well, even if it was just a crutch primarily reinforcing the merely acceptable screenplay/writing. The entire film is shot with a sort of dark, decrepit elegance and the musical score is brilliant - one of the reasons that I gave the movie all five stars.Not a perfect film by any means. But I certainly enjoyed it.
