Title: Woman in the Dunes DVD Transfer
Review: "Woman in the Dunes" is a minor classic of Japanese cinema; beautiful to watch, intriguing, and with a superb score and sound track by Toru Takemitsu. The DVD transfer,however, is very disappointing. The manufacturer claims that the DVD version is a restoration made from the original negative. This may be true, but its a mediocre restoration, soft and much too dark. Night and many interior scenes are barely legible. This is the first premium priced DVD I've seen that is inferior to the VHS version, at least the cassette put out by the Connoisseur Video Collection.
