Nic Roeg's "Don't Look Now" (1973) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy Paramount Home Media Distribution. The only bonus feature on the release is a vintage trailer for the film. In English, with optional English and English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Region-Free.
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Don't Look Now arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Paramount Home Media Distribution.
In the United States, Don't Look Now made its high-definition debut via the Criterion Collection in 2015. You can see out listing and review of this release here. However, this release is out of print now.
This recent release of Don't Look Now is sourced from the same 4K master that was used for the first release. Obviously, the film looks predictably vibrant and healthy, exactly as it did on the first release. Are there any discrepancies in the color reproduction? No. I tested various areas, including many of the darker areas where many supporting nuances interact in some very particular ways to enhance the intended atmosphere, and could not see any meaningful discrepancies to address in our review. The gamma settings are identical as well. Image stability is excellent. The encoding is very good. However, I also have this 4K Blu-ray release from StudioCanal and if I perform direct comparisons between the two there are areas where the higher resolution and superior grain reproduction on the 4K Blu-ray release clearly produce tighter, more attractive visuals. So, if you have a very large screen, you should consider investing in the 4K Blu-ray release. If you don't, I think that you are going to be very happy with the 1080p presentation because the 4K restoration still looks wonderful on Blu-ray. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray release. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your player regardless of your geographical location).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English and English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature.
The lossless audio track is the same one that is present on the original release of Don't Look Now from Criterion. It is very healthy and nicely balanced. Its dynamic potency is as good as it should be as well, so Pino Donaggio's famous score easily produces plenty of memorable contrasts.
In the United States, Don't Look Now made its high-definition debut via the Criterion Collection in 2015. However, this release has been discontinued. Until very recently, I was unaware. So, this recent release from Paramount should be on your radar if you missed Criterion's release. It brings back to the market the same excellent 4K restoration that was prepared for the film a couple of years ago. However, the only bonus feature on it is a vintage trailer. RECOMMENDED.
