| Zitat: | Synopsis
Jean-Pierre Melville’s masterpiece about the French Resistance against the Nazi occupation went unreleased in the United States for thirty-seven years, before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006. Atmospheric and gripping, Army of Shadows is Melville’s most personal film, featuring Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their battle against Hitler's regime.

About the Transfer
Army of Shadows is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. Supervised by director of photography Pierre Lhomme, this new high-definition digital transfer was scanned on a Spirit Datacine in from the 35mm original camera negative, restored by StudioCanal. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed using the MTI Digital Restoration System. To maintain optimal image quality through the compression process, the picture on this dual-layer DVD-9 was encoded at the highest possible bit rate for the quantity of material included.
The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the 35mm magnetic tracks, and audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The Dolby Digital 1.0 signal will be directed to the center channel on 5.1-channel sound systems, but some viewers may prefer to switch to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound. The stereo tracks were created by StudioCanal from the original stems. |
Ich habe ihn mir gestern angeschaut und bin schlichtweg begeistert; bestimmt einer der besten Filme des Jahres... was auch groß mit einem Aufkleber auf den Cover meiner CC zu lesen stand. Melville stellt erneut sein Genie - in vielerlei Hinsicht - unter Beweis.
So sind die Charaktere nicht wirklich scharf gezeichnet, sie sind wahrlich "Shadows" - Konturen (im besten Falle), und dies ist das schlauste was man hätte tun können, um die Mysterien um die einzelnen Figuren aufrecht zu erhalten.
Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn: Ein Must-See!  |
