(aka "Fellini Roma" or "Fellini's Roma")
Italy / France 1972
A virtually plotless, gaudy, impressionistic portrait of Rome through the eyes of one of its most famous citizens. blending autobiography (a reconstruction of Fellini's own arrival in Rome during the Mussolini years; a trip to a brothel and a music-hall) with scenes from present-day Roman life (a massive traffic jam on the autostrada; a raucous journey through Rome after dark; following an archaeological team through the site of the Rome subways; an unforgettable ecclesiastical fashion show)

The tinting on the UK release is unnatural. You can seem some more details, such as in capture three of the piece of furniture and the smoke, but I'm stating the obvious. The framing is a great disparity. I could not achieve the same framing you got on this particular shot for example. There was just more horizontal info in the U.S. and less vertical. I couldn't get as low on the van as you did with the traffic jam shot. In general, the U.S. image looks darker through out, obscuring some detail, but the U.K. colors seem strangely tinted, albeit revealing some additional detail. The painting is where this works out the best. Fred But the US is also much sharper, especially in the last capture. I think I prefer the US disc. Regards, Pavel There is a strong color balance issue here, as well as some cropping. To me the US release is far superior. The UK release is quite hazy in comparison and has a sepia tint to it that is very unbecoming. Region 1 for me! Gary Tooze Note: also that both versions are cut "American / international" versions of the film, and there is missing approx. 10 -15 minutes from the original cut! |
