Kann jemand was zur BD von "Eyes wide shut" sagen??

Hab mir die UK-Scheibe für 4,99 € bestellt (dt. Ton).
Wollte den Film schon lange auf BD haben...

Jetzt lese ich bei Amazon aber was von "Bildquali unter VHS Niveau" ???

Das wär echt sehr schade 

"unter VHS Niveau" halte ich mal, ohne die BD von dem Film zu kennen, für maßlos übertrieben. Kann mir (auch wenn Warner gerne mal Böcke schießt) nicht vorstellen, dass sie überhaupt schlechter als die DVD ist. Bei dem Preis sowieso nicht. Zumal viele im HD-Zeitalter Makel am Film auffallen, die man zuvor nicht so extrem bemerkt hat. Wenn ich schon lese, wie viele sagen "Filmkorn hat bei HD nichts mehr zu suchen!", kann ich nur den Kopf schütteln. Korn entsteht durch chemische Prozesse und ist natürlicher Bestandteil des Filmmaterials.

Einziges Manko der BD ist wohl das Bildformat, das nicht mehr - wie von Kubrick eigentlich gewollt - 4:3 ist.

[nemesis]

COPLAND 
ok, sowas ist mir noch nicht untergekommen! fürs Bild und für den Ton! Das Bildformat ist bekanntlich nicht korrekt, und somit bekommt man leichte EIerköpfe, es ist dunkel, verrauscht und verwaschen wie Sau! Der Ton ist dermassen leise abgemischt, dass man doppelt so laut drehen muss, und ist allenfalls als STereo Ton vermerkbar. So eine Scheibe auf den Markt zu werfen grenzt an eine Frechheit.

Was die alte BD angeht, die - wenn ich mir da diverse Screenshots so ansehe - aussieht wie ein SD-Upscale, gibt es ab dem 5. Januar Abhilfe:

JEAN ROLLIN ON BLU-RAY: THE NUDE VAMPIRE REVIEW


by J Hurtado, January 14, 2012 10:43 AM
   
CONTINENTAL EUROPE & RUSSIA, CULT, EXPLOITATION, USA & CANADA
When I started reviewing Kino discs, I had no idea that they would be so perfect for continuing series. However, after the positive feedback I got from the Buster Keaton series, and Kino's new partnership with Redemption Films and their collection of Jean Rollin classics, I thought this was the perfect time to start up another series. As such, I bring to you the Jean Rollin on Blu-ray series, where I'll follow all of Kino's Rollin releases, enjoy!

Jean Rollin was definitely one of a kind. He was at the front of a wave of filmmakers who took horror genre conventions and used them as a point of departure into other, sometimes far deeper, realms of thought and expression. Collectively, the films made by French and Spanish filmmakers in this realm are generally referred to as le cinema fantastique, where the films are not so much horrific, but fantastical and ethereal in nature. Rollin's second feature, La vampire Nue (The Nude Vampire) was a warning shot to anyone who thought that a vampire film meant only one thing. It set the bar for Rollin's future features and introduced many continuing themes and tropes unique to his films. Kino's first Rollin Blu-ray is a wonderful disc that looks and sounds great and includes several quite interesting extra features. Trust me, you're going to want all of these.
A surreal blend of horror, espionage, and erotica, THE NUDE VAMPIRE follows the son of a wealthy businessman as he is lured into a secret cult that is conducting experiments on a mute vampire woman being held in captivity. With this visually vibrant and eerily seductive film, French filmmaker Jean Rollin sealed his reputation as a master of Euro horror/fantasy.
Right from the very beginning it is obvious that this is no ordinary vampire film, and certainly nothing that could've been anticipated by horror fans. The film is dark and mysterious and makes great efforts to put forth an atmosphere of dread and unease at every turn. The air is mysterious, the characters shrouded in shadow, sometimes hidden behind masks, and never quite who they seem. The Nude Vampire is, as a said above, not a scary film, but is it a fantastic film, in the literal sense of the word, and it is a must see for anyone who thinks they've seen it all.

Recounting the plot is something I try to avoid in reviews in general, and this is no exception. Jean Rollin's films are not ever about what happens on screen, but about how it happens. The central character is a wealthy young man, Pierre, who runs into a woman streaking through the night wearing nothing but a translucent cape. She's being chased by a group of figures wearing animal masks who are attempting to corner and retrieve her. They eventually succeed and so begins Pierre's investigation into what went on that night.

Pierre's investigation leads him through all sorts of different levels of late '60s occult mania.  There are cults, mysterious scientific laboratories, more hooded figures, plenty of naked ladies, and the ever present Rollin vampire twins. In this case they aren't literal vampires, but the female twin figures are something that he introduced in this film and they followed him throughout his career.

Unlike his contemporaries in Italy and the UK, who were making vampire films meant to horrify and disgust, Rollin had other ambitions. His films were meant to engage his audience on a cerebral level, and to titillate without becoming crass. The sexual freedom displayed in Rollin's films was still something somewhat new, and is far closer to the Radley Metzger of that period than it is to the Russ Meyer films in the early '70s. This was a formula that Rollin honed to a fine point in his vampire films over the next decade or so before succumbing to the financial pressure to make porn films and branch out into other types of macabre offerings. However, his best films were always the ones about vampires.

The Nude Vampire is not my favorite Rollin film. It is a bit indulgent, even for him, and a bit too morose to be as entertaining as a film of this type should be. Bear in mind, though, that this was only his second feature after Rape of the Vampire. Where this film does bear visiting is its introduction of many standard features of the Rollin film, many of which I mentioned above. His later films all take pieces from this film and elaborate upon them, making his work all very interconnected in a very interesting way.

I really like The Nude Vampire. It isn't as obtuse as some might have you think. Just because there isn't a whole lot of action, doesn't mean that nothing is happening. The interesting inclusion of several plot devices not standard to vampire films, scientific experiments and transdimensional portals, etc..., make this well worth checking out.

The Disc:

Kino's first Rollin disc looks great!  The films have all been remastered in HD in the last year and cleaned up to a large extent. As is common practice from Kino, no unnecessary digital manipulation has been done on this image. There are the odd bits of damage here and there, but over all it looks excellent with a natural looking image and vibrant colors. There are two audio tracks, both the original French version with English subtitles, which I watched and found quite adequate but about as hollow sounding as most audio tracks from that era, and an English dub, which is not too terrible. Both sound lovely, and I wouldn't even hesitate to check out the English dub, it does add something to some of these older features.

In terms of extras, all of the material for Kino's disc is new as far as I can tell, and very interesting. There are two segments with Rollin, himself, one introducing the film and a separate interview segment that is considerably longer.  These are both interesting in terms of Rollin's recollections of the film, and it is great to have him on film talking about these works, since he is gone and we won't get this opportunity again. I do with he'd been subtitled, even though he is speaking English, his accent is a bit thick and occasionally tough to decipher. There is also an interview with a longtime collaborator Natalie Perrey, who talks about her own career as a 1st AD and star in some of Rollin's work. Great work on both sets of interviews.

The final and most substantial extra is also shared by each of the new discs, and that is a 20 page booklet with as essay from Video Watchdog editor and horror expert Tim Lucas. This is a wealth of information about Rollin features and history that is worth the price of the disc along. Unfortunately, each of the discs uses the same booklet, so if you read it once, you may be disappointed to find it again in each of the sets, but it is so good, I'll probably read it all five times I open a disc to review it. Another resource I highly recommend is Cathal Tohill and Pete Tombs' excellent research book Immoral Tales, which delves even deeper into Rollin's work among other giants of this brand of cinema.

This is one of the releases that Rollin fans have been waiting for for a long time, and I dare say the wait was worth it. In a couple of days I'll get back to my reviews with The Shiver of the Vampires, which is a much more fun and less serious film. I'm looking forward to it and I hope you read it as well!

JEAN ROLLIN ON BLU-RAY: THE SHIVER OF THE VAMPIRES REVIEW


by J Hurtado, January 18, 2012 12:05 PM
   
CONTINENTAL EUROPE & RUSSIA, CULT, HORROR, SCI-FI & FANTASY, USA & CANADA
Our look into the films of Jean Rollin on Blu-ray continues with his third feature, The Shiver of the Vampires (Le frisson des vampires). Shiver finds Rollin exploring the possibilities of the vampire myth in a completely different, yet somehow more conventional way than his previous two films. The piercing black humor in this film makes it one of my favorites, and it really benefits from the HD upgrade. Kino's Blu-ray of this film is beautiful, though not without its fair share of print damage, and definitely worth the upgrade.
When a honeymooning couple visit the crumbling estate of the bride's ancestors, they discover her closet is filled with more than skeletons: a sinister lesbian vampire, a pair of nubile handmaidens, and two vampire hunters who have been recruited into the ranks of the undead.
The above synopsis give you a basic idea of what happens in Shiver, but it gives you no inkling as to how fun the film is. Where The Nude Vampire was more of an exploration on the nature of vampirism, Shiver is a vampiric romp. The film opens with a couple of newlyweds on their way to their honeymoon who make a stop at the castle of the bride's cousins only to be told they've recently died. Rather than move along, she decides that she must stay overnight to mourn their passing. Within seconds of their entry into the castle, shit starts going crazy, antics ensue.

If you were to mention the idea of a black comedy with vampires to people today, they would immediately conjure images of some bullshit like Vampires Suck, which just goes to show how far we've fallen as a civilization. Shiver isn't a straight comedy, but there is enough levity in the script, and particularly the characters of the cousins, to keep the film from disappearing up it's own asshole.

Shiver of the Vampires finds Rollin continuing to test thematic tools he'd revisit over and over (and over) again throughout his career. There are the ubiquitous female twins, the lesbian vampiress, the modern abandoned castle, numerous graveyard scenes, crazy lighting schemes, and numerous invented rituals. It all sounds very dark, but the film is really a blast. The vampire cousins, who seem much too old to be cousins of our bride, are fantastic characters, well drawn and exuberant, whose presence makes the film more fun than it has any right to be.

We're introduced to the characters and led through key plot points with jaunty '60s sounding guitar twang that undercuts the seriousness of what's going on onscreen, but fits the feeling perfectly. The music is one of my favorite parts of Shiver, and I may be seeking out a soundtrack to the film as a result. It sounds like straight '60s garage band stuff, sort of menacing, but mostly just goofy. It really adds another dimension to the film in a way that only a perfectly matched background score can.

In case you couldn't tell, I loved The Shiver of the Vampires, and place it high among my Rollin favorites. The combination of dark imagery and light hearted vampire hijinks really hit a sweet spot for me. As is the case with most of Rollin's stuff, this isn't mean to be scary, and it certainly isn't, but it is something even better, it is entertaining. Highly recommended stuff.

The Disc:

Kino/Redemption's disc of Shiver is only the slightest step down in quality from The Nude Vampire. There are a few moments of significant print damage marring the film, but those cannot be helped. The conditions in which the negatives were stored must have been compromised. Apart from those few brief moments, the film looks great and sounds wonderful. There is plenty of very natural looking film grain and Rollin's extreme lighting is preserved beautifully. The audio fares significantly better, with the above-mentioned score coming across beautifully, and both the French language track and the marvelous English language dub sound great with no major damage. This is one case where I would make an argument for both audio tracks, as the English language version retains much of the excitement of the film without being hammy.

In terms of extras we get a couple of interviews along with the fantastic Tim Lucas essay that accompanies all of the discs. There is an extended introduction by Rollin, as well as a forty minute interview which I really enjoyed, though, again, I wish it'd been subtitled even though he is speaking English.

If you only purchase one of these discs, Shiver of the Vampires would probably be my choice. Great stuff!

Den Preis von derzeit (bei ama) € 178,99 finde ich zudem absolut okay, macht rund € 8,- pro Bond in HD, da kann man imo echt nicht meckern!

Ein paar Spielberg-News!

...

Ausserdem bestätigte Spielberg, dass E.T. nächstes Jahr auf BD erscheinen wird - allerdings nur in der originalen Kinofassung. Seine Frage, ob es jemandem etwas ausmachen würde, dass es die neue Version nicht auf BD schafft, wurde mit einem lauten "NEIN!" beantwortet. Spielberg erkannte dies an und sagte, dass er es bedauere, für die DVD Änderungen vorgenommen zu haben.
 

Am 25. Oktober kommt die BD. Neben dem Steelbook



wird es noch eine auf 500 Strück limitierte Sammler-Edition mit Raumschiff-Modell geben:



Zu den Extras:
- Steven Spielberg & E. T.: Ein ganz neues Interview mit Steven Spielberg, in dem er über seine Arbeit mit den Kindern berichtet sowie über seine derzeitige und umfassende Sicht auf E.T. spricht.
- The E.T. Journals: Behind the Scenes Material des Oscarpreisträgers John Toll (Kameramann). Dieses Stück vermittelt den Zuschauern das einmalige Gefühl, am Drehort zu sein und mit Spannung zu erleben, wie es war, E. T. der Ausserirdische zu drehen.
- Deleted Scenes
- A Look Back: Making-Of inklusive Interviews mit Cast & Crew
- The E.T. Reunion: Das Wiedersehen: Cast & Crew treffen sich und äußern ihre Gedanken zum Film
- The Evolution and Creation of E.T.: Von der Idee zum Drehbuch, über das Casting bis zu den Dreharbeiten.
- The Music of E.T.: A Discussion with John Williams: Interviews und Bildmaterial zu der langjährigen Beziehung zwischen John Williams und Steven Spielberg.
- The 20th Anniversary Premiere: Der Komponist John Williams hat zum Anlass der Premiere der Neuveröffentlichung von E. T. die Filmmusik von E. T. live im Shrine Auditorium gespielt. Dieser Ausschnitt lässt uns hinter die Kulissen dieser Aufführung blicken.

@ET BOX

Dieses Plastik-Raumschiff sieht ja wohl mal unfassbar beschissen und billig aus.
Kann natürlich sein, das die Fotos da etwas täuschen, glaub ich aber eher nicht...?
Und dann so ein Preis? Pfui...

Tatsächlich! Habs mir mal in der Grossaufnahme angesehen jetzt. Schein mMn den Preis auch nicht wert zu sein!

btw:

feature=player_embedded

[nemesis]

Ach Musik macht das Dings noch ... hatte Sound aus, ok
Ist süss, will ja nicht nur meckern - aber trotzdem bleibts IMO ein hässliches Plastikteil.

Wär ja geil gewesen, wenn das Ding aufgeht, E.T. aus dem Schiff kommt, dir auf den Teppich pisst, und dann wieder verschwindet.

KOCH MEDIA bringt am 24. August übrigens den Neuzeit-Klassiker "Auf den Schwingen des Todes" auf BD raus:

http://www.amazon.de/Auf-den-Schwingen-Todes-Blu-ray/dp/B008410B5Q/ref=pd_sim_sbs_d_13

Da die alte MGM-DVD oop ist kommt (natürlich) zeitgleich von Koch die DVD raus, für faire 8,99 €

Und wieder so ein "modernes" Cover...

Das Originalplakat von Casaro war da viel schöner... 

[nemesis]

Ist schöner, stimmt ...
aber da hilft unser Schimpfen ja eh nüscht...
Ich find das neue Cover recht gut, ist ja immer Geschmacksache.
Wer fand das neue Cover von "Near Dark" doch gleich gelungen??  

Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel.

[nemesis]

"Revenge of the Warrior" mit Tony Jaa -
BluRay oder normale DVD?

Die BD ist recht günstig zu haben, man liest aber, das die net prall sein soll?

Dir ist aber schon klar, dass... Moment...:

Ja, wusste ich Chefken

Ich kenne diese Version und sie hat ja hauptsächlich Handlungs-Cuts, ist doch die sogenannte "internationale Version", oder bin ich jetzt auf dem Holzweg?

Soweit ja. Inwiefern die Tonzensuren (da fehlt einiges an brechenden Knochen) allerdings auf deutschem Dung gewachsen ist, kann ich nicht sagen.

[nemesis]

Hach ja, na ja ... optimal ist das nicht, stimmt schon.
Und eigentlich braucht man bei diesem Film, der im Grunde eh keine Handlung hat, auch keinen dt. Ton

Wozu würdest du mir raten?

http://www.amazon.de/product-reviews/B006VDGROI/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_one?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addOneStar&showViewpoints=0

[nemesis]

Ich find's halt einfach nur affig, wenn das gesamte Produkt (immerhin 22 BDs) eine 1-Stern-Wertung NUR wegen der Verpackung bekommt. Das ist alles andere als objektiv, in den meisten Fällen sogar kreuzdämlich. Wenn ich schon so Kommentare lese wie "Würde die Box höchstens für 25,- kaufen"... das ist einfach nur noch himmelschreiende Dummheit, bei der man am liebsten stumpf reintreten möchte...

[nemesis]

Am 25. Oktober kommt die BD. Neben dem Steelbook

Also auf diese BD warte ich SEHNLICHST und danke dem lieben Gott (also Steven Spielberg ), dass die Kinoversion auf der Scheibe ist und nicht dieser digital nachbearbeitete Murks, zumal die originale Kinofassung auf DVD immer schwer zu kriegen oder einfach unfassbar teuer war.

Übrigens befindet sich auf der BD (trotz der neuen 7.1 Abmischung) die Original Kino-Synchro! Es geht doch!

Waum man das bei Indy nicht geschafft hat, ist ein Rätsel...

[nemesis]

Kleine Bemerkung am Rande: Sollte jemand mit dem Gedanken spielen, sich von der Blade Runner - 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition die UK-Box zu holen: NUR der Final Cut hat dort dt. Ton. alle anderen Fassungen NICHT.

Ungekürzte Fassung und US-Kinofassung auf einer Blu-ray, Trailer, Interviews mit Cast & Crew, Behind the Scenes, Featurettes u.v.m.

Das wäre dann die erste Veröffentlichung der Unrated in Deutschland.

Beim Cover dachte ich erst hm, na ja... Aber je länger ich es betrachte, umso besser gefällt es mir. Es trifft (imo) den Kern des Wahnsinns ganz gut.

Habe da vor einiger Zeit das Steel von Zavvi geholt weil ich hier auch nicht mit einer VÖ der Unrated gerechnet hatte. Bin damit zufrieden und kann Koch hier ausnahmsweise nicht unterstützen.

Cover passt aber tatsächlich gut. Eigentlich müsste da noch eine geprägte Visitenkarte als Gimmick dazu kommen!

Bei der man Schweißausbrüche kriegt
Coole Idee.
