A new man
Presented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and grated a 1080/50i transfer, Romain Gavras' Our Day Will Come arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Optimum Home Entertainment.
Don't be discouraged by the fact that the high-definition transfer is encoded in 1080/50i, the film looks very good. The outdoor scenes, in particular, are remarkably crisp and vibrant, often conveying lovely natural colors. The close-ups are also excellent, boasting sharp but not harsh details. There are no traces of excessive noise reduction. Edge-enhancement is not a serious issue of concern either. During playback, motion-judder is also practically impossible to spot. Lastly, there are no stability issues to report in this review. All in all, Our Day Will Come looks very good, if not excellent, on Blu-ray. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content).
There is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. For the record, Optimum Home Entertainment have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they split the image frame and the black bar below it.
The French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track adds plenty of depth to the film, especially during the shootouts. However, do not expect the wide range of intense dynamics Hollywood made blockbusters typically have; rather a less refined, rawer and realistic sound. There are no balance issues with Sébastien Akchoté's soundtrack. There are no pops, cracks, or sudden audio dropouts either. The English translation is outstanding.
Romain Gavras' Our Day Will Come is a very dark and angry but beautiful anarchist film by an incredibly talented and bold new director (you have to see his Born Free music video). It is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a film that does not play by the rules, then you don't want to miss it. I liked it a lot. The Blu-ray disc herein reviewed, courtesy of Optimum Home Entertainment, looks and sounds very good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
