The Lickerish Quartet(1970)
A jaded, wealthy couple watch a blue movie in their castle home along with her adult son. The son is testy, so they go into town and watch a circus-like thrill ride. The daredevil woman in the show looks exactly like one of the women in the movie, so the man invites her to join them for a nightcap. Tensions among the family seem to rise.

The high-definition transfer appears to have been sourced from the same master Cult Epics had access to when they prepared their Blu-ray release of The Lickerish Quartet for the U.S. market, and this is definitely good news. Generally speaking, detail and especially clarity are dramatically improved, with the daylight footage in particular now conveying pleasing depth (the old R4 DVD in comparison has some very serious issues). Color stability and especially color saturation are also a lot more convincing. This being said, clearly there is plenty of room for substantial improvements. A fresh new scan would further improve delineation, shadow definition, and color stability. The tiny scratches could be eliminated as well. The important thing to remember here, however, is the fact that the film now has a consistent organic look, and when compared to previous DVD releases the Blu-ray release represents a massive step up in quality. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location. For the record, there is no problematic PAL or 1080/50i content preceding the disc's main menu). The Lickerish Quartet Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM 2.0. For the record, Arrow Video have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. The inclusion of a lossless audio track immediately makes Arrow Video's release of The Lickerish Quartet the one to own. While the lossy track on the Cult Epics release was fairly good, depth is clearly improved on the lossless track. There are subtle improvements in terms of dynamic movement as well -- Stelvio Cipriani's prominent score breathes easier, while a few sequences (such as circus footage) sound marginally crisper. The dialog is stable and easy to follow, though some extremely light background hiss remains.
