Dorian Gray(2009)
The strikingly beautiful but naive young Dorian Gray, arriving fresh on the London social scene, is taken under the wing of Lord Henry Wotton who introduces him to the seedy pleasures of the city’s life. When an artist paints a portrait of Dorian to catch the full power of his youthful beauty, Dorian swears he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul. Dorian’s stunning good looks and charm soon attract the celebrity lifestyle and everything that it brings, and he finds himself slipping deeper and deeper into a world of sin, sex and violence, seemingly without any consequences. But as his actions become increasingly evil, how long can he hide the secret behind his eternal youth? For more about Dorian Gray and the Dorian Gray Blu-ray release, see the Dorian Gray Blu-ray Review Starring: Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Rebecca Hall, Emilia Fox Director: Oliver Parker Dorian Gray Blu-ray, Video QualityThere's quite a bit of CGI, set extensions and desaturated post-processing work in this VC-1 encoded 1080p image (in 1.78:1), so the Blu-ray presentation, while always sharp and filled with detail, has a certain bluish tint that does very well in the creepier, night scenes, but which leaves some of the daytime scenes looking a bit pale at times. Despite some of the intentional blanching issues, colors are generally very robust, especially in the opening segments, where Edwardian England is presented in all its finery. While some of the CGI is less than ILM-esque (some of the set extensions are noticeably fake looking), the special effects with regard to the painting are quite impressive, giving a suitable shiver up the spine at the film's climax. Black levels are consistent and contrast is excellent if one looks past the desaturation. Best of all, no artifacting was present, despite an abundance of patterened costumes, fences, grills, and leaves. Dorian Gray Blu-ray, Audio QualityDorian Gray's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix fares best, as might be expected, in the gloomier, moodier aspects of the film, with some extremely robust low end, in both underscore and foley effects, that fill the listener with a palpable sense of the ominous. Surrounds are utilized relatively sparingly, mostly for some of the aformentioned foley effects, and in some of the outdoor scenes. Otherwise, this is a crisp audio presentation, if not overly directional, with solid reproduction of dialogue, effects and music. But it's the LFE that will probably linger with most viewers long after the film has ended.
