Upstream Color(2013)
A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives. For more about Upstream Color and the Upstream Color Blu-ray release, see the Upstream Color Blu-ray Review Starring: Amy Seimetz, Shane Carruth Director: Shane Carruth » See full cast & crew Upstream Color Blu-ray, Video QualityUpstream Color is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of New Video Group with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.34:1. This digitally shot feature has been intentionally bled of color for much of its "exterior" footage, while shots of what's going on inside the bodies are often vivid and brightly hued. Fine detail is exceptional, though Carruth tends to favor shallow focus, which means that sometimes things go slightly soft and fuzzy at times due to what appears to focus being pulled manually as scenes are being shot. Contrast is generally strong, with crisp shadow detail even in nighttime sequences. Upstream Color Blu-ray, Audio QualityUpstream Color features lossless DTS-HD Master Audio mixes in both 5.1 and 2.0. I highly recommend listening to the 5.1 mix if your home theater setup allows for it, as this film has a really subtle and evocative mix. This is not "in your face" (and/or ears) mix, but it features some fascinating foley effects that often segue into each other. A perfect example is when Jeff is pulling the paper sleeves off the straws and the "crinkling" sound of the papers being folded then blends into brown autumn leaves rustling in the breeze. Surround activity is near continual in this mix due to Carruth's nonstop synth score (Carruth is the very model of a modern multihyphenate). Large swaths of this film play out with nary a word of dialogue, and yet the sound design is still incredibly effective. There are some minor but noticeable audio sync issues that plague the 5.1 mix, which become particularly evident at around the 28:25 mark (toggling to the 2.0 mix here reveals much less of a problem). Fidelity is excellent, though dynamic range is muted.
