The 4K UHD of The Proposition

HERE NOTE: A Blu-ray edition of The Proposition is reviewed/compared HERE.
A
stunning transfer. While there are, when zooming-in on stills, minute
signs of compression artefacts, they are not visible during
playback. The colours are true to the theatrical version, strong and
rich details, and deep blacks.
Additional material begins with an audio commentary by writer Nick
Cave and director John Hillcoat. It is a very good, yet modest and
quiet commentary, noting upon mise-en-scene, thematically elements,
scenery, acting and so on. |
