Body Heat Blu-ray
Warner Bros. | 1981 | 113 mins | Rated R | Oct 07, 2008
Body Heat(1981)Crime | Drama | Thriller     William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale of desire and skullduggery that echoes 1940s film noirs but is charged with an energy and passion that could only flare in the '80s. Aided by a sultry John Barry score, Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadowed the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth. For more details about Body Heat on Blu-ray, see the Body Heat Blu-ray Review Starring: William Hurt, Kathleen Turner, Richard Crenna, Ted Danson, J.A. Preston Director: Lawrence Kasdan Body Heat Blu-ray, Video Quality  Body Heat brings its highly stylish appearance to the Bluray format in the form of a 1080p/VC-1 encode framed at a 1:85:1 aspect ratio. One must understand the film noir style of filmmaking to honestly evaluate the picture quality of this film, as I have mentioned it is highly stylized and designed to create a certain mood. First, the print master looks in great condition, as I only saw one instance of a pop during the entire film. There were no speckles, spurious image noise, dirt or scratches to be found. Colors are muted, which makes brightly lit and daytime scenes more distinctive in contrast. Grain is apparent, but well managed with no signs of edge enhancement or DNR. Grain haters beware, this is real film, not video. Black levels are excellent and stable, though shadow detail is lacking at times which quite ironically fits this film well. Detail is outstanding with beads of sweat, skin textures, fine hair and even fine patterns in clothing all emerging quite clearly to the eye. Daylight scenes have this hazy, Vaseline over the lens quality, which gives it diffused character. This type of stylish look is exactly what film noir is all about. Body Heat Blu-ray, Audio Quality Body Heat comes in two audio flavors, a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD encode, and a lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital encoded at a constant bit rate of 640kbps. Once again, this movie is about the dialog and images, so there is no directional panning of effects to speak of. However, I found dialog always clean, clear, and easy to understand. John Barry’s jazzy sax laced film score is very well recorded, and fits the mood of the film exceptionally well. While there is no panning of effects, some effects are expertly placed in the channels. The wind chime scene at Matty's house effectively illustrates this, with their sound emerging from pretty much everywhere. There is no LFE in this movie, which makes it a 5.0 movie instead of the listed 5.1. The lossy Dolby Digital track sounds less full, less expansive, and flat in comparison to the lossless track. Overall this soundtrack enhances the visuals with perfection, never drawing attention to itself, or taking away from the spoken word.
