College(1927)

Horne, Buster Keaton » See full cast & crew College Blu-ray, Video QualityIf you're familiar with Kino-Lorber's other Buster Keaton Blu-ray releases, you'll feel right at home with College, which has been given a newly mastered 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that's striking and faithful to source. Some might say too faithful. As usual for Kino, the print is essentially presented "as is," meaning there's been no significant digital restoration or clean-up. So, you will notice semi-frequent white specks, small scratches, mild contrast fluctuations, and a few brief moments of staining and warping. None of this is distracting in the slightestparticularly if you're used to watching silent filmsand all things considered, for an 85-year-old 35mm print, the damage here is minimal. On the plus side of Kino's approach, there's been no digital noise reduction, edge enhancement, or other significant filtering; the picture has a natural look, with a visible layer of grain. The lone oddity, which you can spot in the screenshots, is that there's a constant line near the bottom of the frame where the brightness level shifts slightly but suddenly. I'm not sure exactly what may have caused this, but it's almost certainly a source-related issue, and to fix it would likely require significant time and effort. Once again, though, it's something you quickly glaze over. What you will constantly notice is how great the film looks in high definition, with finer detail, better resolved textures, and an all-around appreciable increase in clarity. The film's monochrome gradation is handled nicely as well, with some inconsistency in contrast between scenes, but generally solid black levels and white that never peak. College Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere's only one accompaniment track on Kino's Blu-ray release of College, but it's a good onea vintage organ arrangement by the late John Muri, who passed away in 2000. Presented in uncompressed Linear PCM 2.0 stereo, the music sounds good and suits the film well, complementing the onscreen action without overshadowing it. No issues here.
