DVD Description

Recently voted ‘The greatest romantic film of all time’ in the Guardian/ Observer greatest films poll.

Noel Coward’s sensitive portrayal of what happens when two happily married strangers, played by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, meet and their acquaintance deepens into affection and love. It is the story of two people, thrown together by a chance meeting, helpless in the face of their emotions but redeemed by their moral courage.

The film also features Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2--a special request to director David Lean from Noel Coward. Over the years few films have equalled the compassion and realism of Brief Encounter and, it remains to this day, one of the best-loved British romances of all time.

The Blu-ray features the film digitally restored and a wealth of extras
• Documentary “A profile of Brief Encounter”
• Stills gallery
• Theatrical Trailer

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Blu-Ray of a great film, 22 Nov 2009
By 
A. Film Lover (Studio City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brief Encounter [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Do not listen to the person who said this is less than great despite the claims of being image-conscious. I've seen 35mm prints that weren't as good as this Blu-Ray. It's been lovingly restored and looks absolutely fantastic in every way. The negative must have been in very good shape, despite what Mr. Image Conscious says. In fact, it's a shame Mr. Image Conscious can't be specific - point out the specific things that he thinks are less than great - that would be illuminating. As it is, if you love the film I can't imagine you wouldn't be thrilled with the Blu-Ray. There is no extant DVD version of this film that comes within a country mile of this transfer - I'd advise a trip to the optometrist for anyone who tells you otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic given new lease of life, 31 Oct 2009
By 
J. Aitken (Glasgow Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Brief Encounter [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Pointless to review this classic film for its story, performances, and direction which are all superb. What one can certainly marvel at is the sensational quality of the restored print. On Blu Ray Brief Encounter emerges with such clarity of detail such beautiful gradations of the black and white spectrum, that one simply marvels at the transformation. The soundtrack is also refurbished and this adds greatly to ones enjoyment of the performances.Anyone who loves this film and would like to see it in all its splendour would do well to make the transition to Blu Ray, which seems fast becoming the industry standard.

I loved watching this favourite again and in Blu Ray it has found a worthy home for the future.
