ADDITION ( Oct 21st-2003) - The DVDY Films release is no competition for the Anchor Bay. It is out of ratio, contrast boosted, has burned in subs, no extras etc..

The following review is for the new Anchor Bay release:

PICTURE: The picture suffers from print damage and negative scratches, but you can live with them. There are two minor problems.

The picture is slightly out of focus. It disturbs a little, but the picture itself has many variations on the black color and are rich.

The other problem is that ANCHOR BAY has used some kind of data program to enhance the sharpness and contrasts. For me the program functions like there was some kind of field (veil, or draperies) between the viewer and the film. It disturbs me a lot. In the 23 min documentary there are some clips from the film without the data program. They look much better.  out of  

The inside world of CAROLE in the apartment are quite dark, but it functions very well to the contrast of the light subjective street pictures.

SOUND:

The mono sound (on the menu page 2.0 stereo) is narrow, as it was from a film made in 1940'. The only option is the DTS track. The re-mix is made with prestige, the dialog is only on the center speaker, and the music and some minor effects are on the other speakers. Still, why couldn't they make a precious mono mix instead! out of     

THE FILM:

It's hard to believe that this film is soon 40 years old. It looks very modern and very skillful directed. A masterpiece.

When I told for a friend that I am going to view REPULSION he told, that do you remember that the film starts with an eye. He suggested that the film (as in The Death and the Maiden) can be understand as adream / nightmare, and it's upon the viewer what to believe. In factthe film could be a impression of a girl that has experienced incest... out of
