Format:DVD
I really enjoyed the story & the acting but the copy I bought from Amazon UK has extremely poor sound quality. Even given the age of the film the sound is woeful. It is very very hard to hear throughout & at times the static is so bad not a word can be heard. I would have sent it back except that postage from Australia to the UK is excessive.

An excellent film long overdue for dvd release, no doubt about it. BUT the copy I was sent was almost completely inaudible even with the volume turned up high.

Just a quick note to make the following point:
Contrary to other reviews of this DVD the copy I recently bought has no audio problems; sound is as crystal clear throughout as the image, which is exceptional - as good as anything put out by Criterion, for example.
Added to which - what a lovely film!
Highly recommended.
