5.0 out of 5 starsOperatic and highly original.
By Adrian Drew TOP 500 REVIEWER on 10 May 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This tribute to Hitchock is a fascinating piece. The flamboyant style, operatic direction and spectacular ending perfectly complement the labyrinthine plot. If some of the surprises are not quite as shocking as they once were, and the complex plot a little heavy handed for today's audiences, well put that down to the age of the movie. That said, the transfer is good and both audio and video very satisfactory. If you enjoyed the movie, take a look at the new blu ray of Obsession too which has just come out and you will have another treat in store in that extraordinary re-working of "Vertigo".

4.0 out of 5 starsI've always loved Last Embrace since I first saw it on BBC2 ...
By M on 15 July 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I've always loved Last Embrace since I first saw it on BBC2 in the early 90s, and for someone who's as a rule only about 20/80 in favour of post 60s American cinema, that's saying a lot. I'd go as far as to say that Jonathan Demme crafts a richer suspense here than with the 'showier' excess of Silence Of The Lambs - maybe I'm setting myself up as the proverbial to the slaughter in that opinion, but hey-ho.

As to the Dutch, 'Green Cow' DVD, I feel I must rebuke some earlier comments on quality - the print is a very decent 1.85:1 (ie NOT merely 16:9) transfer. Even with the drawback that it's non-anamorphic, zooming to my TV's 16:9 setting results in a surprisingly minor loss of definition. Background detail isn't exactly gilt-edged, but the main image remains solid, colour palette is seemingly faithful, and even tricky shots involving panning and/or process work are quite agreeably stable. I'd much rather this than hold out for a R1 release and its inherent NTSC 'judder' any day. Anyone who proclaims it little better than 'VHS quality' clearly has not actually revisited VHS in a long, long while.

4.0 out of 5 starsDirected by Jonathan Demme? It must be good
By Michele Bradshaw on 13 Mar. 2007
Format: DVD
Actually I thought it was a fine film. A brilliant director, and 1st class acting. It was a thriller and within the limitations of that genre, excelled. The suspense was kept up until the end and the motivation for the killings was plausible and revelatory of our common European history.

5.0 out of 5 starsIntense Hitchcockian thriller from the director of Silence Of The Lambs
By The CinemaScope Cat on 15 Dec. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
After a CIA agent (Roy Scheider) is caught in a double cross set up in which his wife is killed, he has a breakdown and is committed to a sanitarium. When he is released, he receives a mysterious death threat in Hebrew and an investigation reveals a sinister backstory in which the sins of the fathers are visited upon their children. Jonathan Demme won an Oscar for the classic thriller SILENCE OF THE LAMBS but 12 years earlier directed this Hitchcockian exercise. Demme's homage includes inspiration not only from PSYCHO and VERTIGO but even in the stunning music score by Miklos Rozsa (who won an Oscar for Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND). Scheider remarkably brings so much to an underwritten part and Janet Margolin, in her best role since DAVID AND LISA, plays the mousy museum worker who holds the secret to the conspiracy. It's an accomplishment that goes beyond mere style or homage but, not unlike his SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, into the very darkness of moral corruption. The cast includes Christopher Walken, Mandy Patinkin, Sam Levene, John Glover, Charles Napier and Marcia Rodd.

The Dutch import (from Green Cow video) is an excellent anamorphic 1.85 wide screen transfer in English audio and removable Dutch subtitles.

2.0 out of 5 starsBeware of this Dutch DVD
By Gialloman on 5 Oct. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Based on other reviews of this great film and the fact that it is not available on any other format than VHS in the USA, I decided to give this Dutch DVD a try. It was an expensive and poorly thought out decision.
The picture quality is no better than the VHS tape. In fact, it looks like the distributor just transferred the film from VHS.
Take my advice and just wait for an official NTSC region 1 release from MGM. You may have to wait awhile, but you'll be at least $20.00 richer for doing so and a whole lot happier.
