Format:Blu-ray
There is enough said about this film elsewhere and I also believe it is absolutely essential Greenaway. However little is said anywhere about the transfer of this film to Blu ray and I must confess to being disappointed by the quality. Maybe my expectations were too high, or the film too old but although the colours were vibrant it never seemed to be really quite sharp enough, the blacks were too grey and I was sad that the sound hadn't been remastered as 5.1 and remained as a rather distant and sometimes muffled stereo. I hadn't seen this film since 1993 in the cinema and despite my criticisms this copy does sound preferable to previous VHS and DVD versions that have reportedly been cut or distorted.

Hi all interested in Greenaways work.
Just to say the quality of the picture and sound on this blue ray are excellent,exactly what Greenaway deserves.
I missed this at the cinemas etc and only saw it on the very poor video vesion.I can honestly say this is the first
time I have actual SEEN this film.
No directors commentary?Shame.
Buy it if you like Greenaway

Format:DVD
You'll be in awe for the grand sets, operatic acting and bright scarlet costumes. There's a rich feel trough out the story about aristocrat's who watch a play, interact witch the play and at a certain point mix fiction with realty. The story is sometimes hard to swallow and over the top, but is never dull. A very young nude ralph fiennes playing a bishop's son is something to be seen. A beautifull theatrical film, but not for everybody's taste .
Listmania!
