Bill Douglas Trilogy Blu-rayBFI Video | 1972 | Unrated | Jul 27, 2009
Bill Douglas Trilogy(1972)Drama ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For more details about Bill Douglas Trilogy on Blu-ray, see the Bill Douglas Trilogy Blu-ray Review Bill Douglas Trilogy Blu-ray, Video QualityBill Douglas Trilogy has been transferred in High-Definition from the 16mm and 35mm restoration negative materials preserved by the BFI National Archive. MTI and HD-DVNR pictures restoration tools have been used to minimize dirt, scratches and debris. Presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.33:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted 1080p transfers, the three films in Bill Douglas Trilogy arrive on Blu-ray courtesy of the BFI. If you compare the Blu-ray release of Bill Douglas Trilogy with its SDVD counterpart, you would notice plenty of improvements in terms of clarity and detail. On the other hand, the color-scheme is pleasing but not overly convincing. For example, My Way Home looks impressive, but My Childhood occasionally appears a bit flat. There are also some minor stability issues that I noticed. Once again, the majority of them are on My Childhood. Scratches, debris, and flecks occasionally pop up here and there. I did not find them to be overly distracting, but they may annoy some you. This being said, if one wants to own these fabulous films in one’s collection, one should most definitely opt for the Blu-ray release. Simply put, when projected on a large screen, these films look far superior in High-Definition than they do in Standard-Definition. (Note: This is a Region-Free release. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). Bill Douglas Trilogy Blu-ray, Audio Quality![]() There is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM 2.0. For the record, the BFI have provided optional English HOH subtitles for the main feature. I did not encounter any issues to report in this review. The dialog is clear and easy to follow. Dynamically, there truly isn't anything to be overly excited about, but this is how the films were shot - raw and organic. This being said, there are no disturbing pops, cracks, or clicks that I detected on any of the there films. I did detect a bit of mild hiss, however, which I assume the more sensitive amongst you will be able to hear as well. Still, I doubt it that without an elaborate restoration these films could sound (and look) and better. Bill Douglas Trilogy Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
