Fallen Angels(1995)
The ever-so-smooth Killer, a gun-for-hire, resigns from his job when he starts feeling the growing pressure from his beautiful boss, Agent, about his whereabouts. The real problem at-hand, however, is that both parties are falling in love with each other; and neither the cunning Killer, nor the ruthless Agent can deal with the reality of their situation. For more about Fallen Angels and the Fallen Angels Blu-ray release, see the Fallen Angels Blu-ray Review Starring: Leon Lai Ming, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Karen Mok, Charlie Yeung Director: Wong Kar-Wai » See full cast & crew Fallen Angels Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Wong Kar Wai's Fallen Angels arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Artificial Eye. The high-definition transfer appears to have been struck from the same source Kino Video had access to when they prepared their Blu-ray release of Fallen Angels for the U.S. market. This is definitely good news. Aside from some extremely light noise, the film looks wonderful. Christopher Doyle's unorthodox use of light and colors, in particular, give the film a notably seductive look that is often far more interesting to observe and even study than follow the exploits of the main protagonists. The darker sequences are also free of the macroblocking patterns that plagued the DVD releases of the film. The short black and white segments still look quite rough, but this is how they are supposed to look (see screencapture #18). Contrast levels fluctuate a lot, especially when Doyle plays with the neon lights (see screencapture #8), but the film never looks flat. There are no traces of excessive sharpening corrections. Lastly, there are no large cuts, damage marks, flecks, or stains to report in this review. All in all, fans of Fallen Angels residing in Region-B territories should be pleased with the film's technical presentation as it matches the quality of the good U.S. release. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). Fallen Angels Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Cantonese LPCM 2.0. For the record, Artificial Eye have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. The excellent DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is a good enough reason to strongly recommend upgrading your DVD release of Fallen Angels. Frankie Chan and Roel A. García's trippy soundtrack gets a tremendous boost and adds a type of depth and atmosphere to the film that could never be replicated with a lossy track. Essentially, Fallen Angels becomes an entirely different film. The surround channels are also very intelligently used. The dialog is clean and stable. Also, there are no problematic pops, cracks, distortions, or dropouts to report in this review. The English translation is very good.
