Weekend(2011)
On a Friday night after a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what's expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special. That weekend, in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex, the two men get to know each other. It is a brief encounter that will resonate throughout their lives. The Weekender is both an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life. For more about Weekend and the Weekend Blu-ray release, see the Weekend Blu-ray Review Starring: Tom Cullen, Chris New Director: Andrew Haigh » See full cast & crew Weekend Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Andrew Haigh's Weekend arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. Approved by director Andrew Haigh and director of photography Ula Pontikos, the high-definition transfer appears fairly similar to the one Peccadillo Pictures used for their Blu-ray release of Weekend in the United Kingdom. Because the film was shot on digital video, some contrast and clarity fluctuations are occasionally present. The majority of the close-ups, however, convey pleasing depth. Most of the outdoor footage is also relatively crisp. Colors are stable, but during the nighttime sequences the blacks and browns look a bit soft (this softness, however, is a source limitation, not a transfer weakness). Overall, compression is better here, but once again I noticed some extremely light banding. Lastly, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. To sum it all up, the technical presentation of Weekend is up to the high standards set by previous Criterion releases. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). Weekend Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Considering that Weekend is primarily a dialog-driven feature, the fact that the lossless track's dynamic range is fairly limited isn't surprising. Only during the party scenes there is some notable dynamic movement, but the film's sound design is indeed very modest. The dialog is clean and stable. Also, there are no pops, audio dropouts, or distortions to report in this review.
