Croupier 4K(1998)
Jack Manfred, an aspiring writer, accepts a job as a croupier in a small casino in London. There, he remains an observer, viewing the gamblers at his tables with the same cool detachment he brings to the novel he begins to write based on experiences. He never gambles, yet when a beautiful casino regular lures him into a dangerous, but perhaps lucrative caper, Jack is convinced the odds are in his favor. For more about Croupier 4K and the Croupier 4K Blu-ray release, see Croupier 4K Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on March 7, 2023 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Mike Hodges Writer: Paul Mayersberg Starring: Clive Owen, Kate Hardie, Alex Kingston, Gina McKee, Nick Reding, Barnaby Kay Producers: Jonathan Cavendish, Jake Lloyd, James Mitchell, Christine Ruppert, Martin Wiebel » See full cast & crew Croupier 4K Blu-ray, Video Quality 4K1080pNote: Screenshots are sourced from the 1080 release from Arrow Video. As is their custom, this release does not include a 1080 disc with the feature, though the bonus disc is 1080. Croupier is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Arrow Video with a 2160p transfer in 1.85:1. Arrow's insert booklet contains the following information on the restoration: Croupier is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 with stereo 2.0 and 5.1 sound. ( Note: The disc sent to me only has a stereo track.)The 4K UHD version of Croupier is often quite striking in terms of palette and detail, but as so often is the case with shot on film productions, I'm not sure the increased resolution is always a "friend" to grain appearance and overall resolution. Michael wasn't especially thrilled with the Hen's Tooth release of this title, and while I've never seen that version, it probably goes without saying that even with some occasional qualms this is a significant upgrade, even based on the cursory and iffy method of comparing screenshots. Dolby Vision and/or HDR have given an already incredibly vivid 1080 palette even more luster, and some of the primaries in particular are absolutely sumptuous looking. As with the 1080 version, though, the moments with deeply saturated primaries in particular in the background can tend to point out a pretty chunky looking grain field at times, one that definitely has a kind of splotchy yellow (and occasionally purple) cast to it, and which attains an even more pronounced chunkiness in this 4K UHD iteration, something that for whatever reason tends to be a bit more noticeable in what would have been the first reel. That said, detail levels are commendably appealing throughout, and general clarity is also typically excellent. There are just a few very minor blemishes that can dot the proceedings, but nothing of any import. Croupier 4K Blu-ray, Audio QualityCroupier features LPCM 2.0 audio which provides a solid listening experience throughout. The film's often busy, almost cacophonous casino scenes are well balanced and feature clearly discernable foreground dialogue within an overall kind of chaotic clamor of noise. Quieter scenes between two characters, or the moments featuring Jack's voiceover, all resonate without any issues. Simon Fisher-Turner's score also sounds full bodied. Optional English subtitles are available. Croupier: Other Editions
