Title: Yes, the blu-ray disappoints
Review: I bow to no one in my love for this film, based not only upon its obvious merits but also the Forster novel it is faithfully based on. (Some reviewers don't seem to be aware of this original source.)But, having labored mightily to calibrate both my LCD tvs properly, I must add my voice to those who have problems with this transfer.None of my other Blu-rays seem to have such soft processing nor do they seems as unfaithful in terms of color.I remember an astonishingly beautiful film. Perhaps the actual film stock M/I used was subpar, turning many fleshtones pink and lacking the warmth one would expect from proper color temperatures. It's a disappointment from Criterion.It's always possible that a cost-conscious producer made the original decision to utilize inferior film stock, but I somehow doubt it.
Is the review positive or negative?
