Paris, Texas Blu-ray, Video Quality

  3 of 5

Presented in director Wim Wenders' preferred aspect ratio of 1.78:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Paris, Texas arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion.

According to the information found in the booklet provided with this Blu-ray disc, this new high-definition transfer, supervised and approved by director Wim Wenders, was created on a Spirit Datacine from the original 35 mm camera negative. Unsurprisingly, it is of exceptionally high quality. Fine object detail is terrific, contrast levels consistent throughout the entire film, and clarity outstanding. The most impressive upgrade, however, is with the color-scheme. I've seen Paris, Texas more than a dozen times, and I don't recall ever seeing such incredibly vibrant colors. Many of the panoramic vistas are simply breathtakingly beautiful. Edge enhancement and macroblocking are not a serious issue of concern with this transfer. You won't have to worry about aliasing, ringing, or excessive denoising either. Paris, Texas has a natural and very filmic look that should please even the most demanding amongst film aficionados. Finally, there are no absolutely no disturbing flecks, cuts, scratches, warps, dirt, or debris that I noticed while viewing the film. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content).


Paris, Texas Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  3 of 5

The soundtrack for Paris, Texas has also been remixed under the supervision of director Wim Wenders, and, logically, the DTS-HD Master Audio track Criterion have provided certainly does not disappoint. Ry Cooder's fantastic score sounds great - the guitar solos are richer, fuller and a lot more effective here. On the other hand, the dialog is remarkably crisp, clean and easy to follow. There are no balance issues to report. There are no annoying clicks, pops, cracks, or hiss that I noticed either. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature.
