A very enjoyable Sunday afternoon film to watch with your dad.

This is without a doubt a bit of a mad (long) film, but I enjoyed it. A great addition to the ‘I’ve never seen this but… wow’ shelf for 60MW.

Thirty years later, the film actually feels better to me than it did when it originally came out.

This is the best Troy has ever looked and a highly recommended upgrade. Just make sure you put aside either two-and-three-quarter hours or well over three hours, depending on which cut you choose.

Some films are made for high definition, and The Name of the Rose is one of them.

I do think If Besson had picked a better actress to play the part of Joan this would be a wholly different film.

This new Warner release on 4 K UHD is gorgeous; the sets, especially in the orgy house, remind me of Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon

If you’re a collector of 4K films and have never seen The Searchers, buy it, I promise you it will become one of your favourite films. And if you’re already a fan and think you don’t need to upgrade, think again.
10/10 for me! 

God, this is a gorgeous film to look at, sumptuous, with depth, the dark corners of candlelit interiors make the beautiful costumes and make-up sing.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed was its authenticity. The performances feel natural, the relationships believable, and there’s a sincerity running throughout that never feels forced.
