Le Cercle Rouge(1970)
A master thief, an alcoholic ex-cop and an escaped criminal plot a daring heist of an upmarket Parisian jewellery story against impossible odds. For more about Le Cercle Rouge and the Le Cercle Rouge Blu-ray release, see the Le Cercle Rouge Blu-ray Review Starring: Alain Delon, Bourvil, Gian Maria Volontè, Yves Montand Director: Jean-Pierre Melville » See full cast & crew Le Cercle Rouge Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle Rouge arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Optimum Home Entertainment. This high-definition transfer has been struck from a dated source. Nevertheless, it is a very good one. Generally speaking, fine object detail ranges from good to excellent, clarity is pleasing, and contrast levels a lot stronger than I expected them to be. The film's ambient color-scheme - a mix of light blues and a variety of grays - also looks surprisingly fresh. This said, mild edge-enhancement is occasionally noticeable. Macroblocking, however, is not an issue of concern. Traces of mild noise corrections are also present, but the film's grain structure is very much in tact. There are no serious stability issues. I also did not see any large scratches, marks, cuts, or splices to report in this review. All in all, this Blu-ray release does indeed represent a very strong upgrade over all previous releases of Le Cercle Rouge. (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. For the record, its main menu could be set in one of the following languages: English, French, or German). Le Cercle Rouge Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 and German DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. For the record, Optimum Home Entertainment have provided optional English, German, and French subtitles for the main feature. The French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track is solid. The dialog is exceptionally crisp, clean, stable and easy to follow. There are no pops, cracks, hissings, or audio dropouts. I also did not detect any balance issues with Eric Demarsan's music score. Understandably, the range of dynamics the French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track possesses is limited, but the sound conveys natural depth and fluidity. The quality of the English translation is good.
