The not so perfect couple
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Rory Kelly's Sleep with Me arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Olive Films.
The master that was used to source the release is not new, but the for the most part the film looks decent in high-definition. The darker footage is where you will notice the most prominent source limitations -- shadow definition and depth are not optimal and some highlights appear slightly elevated. When there is an abundance of natural light, however, detail and fluidity are typically good. Ideally grain should be better exposed and resolved, but there are no traces of recent digital corrections. Colors are stable, but the range of nuances should be better. Overall image stability is very good. A few tiny flecks pop up, but there are no distracting cuts, debris, damage marks, stains, or warps to report. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English SDH subtitle are not provided for the main feature.
There are no technical anomalies to report. My feeling is that there is some room for improvement in terms of depth and balance in the mid/high registers, but the film has a pretty fluid sound design and there are momentary fluctuations that are in fact inherited. The dialog is stable and easy to follow.
There was a period during the early 1990s when a few independent directors delivered some very refreshing romantic comedies. Rory Kelly's Sleep with Me is one of them, and you probably also remember Andrew Fleming's Threesome and Yurek Bogayevicz's Three of Hearts. I quite liked these films because even though they had a fair share of flaws they were not oversanitized or unbearably cynical like the various unfunny comedies Hollywood produces today. If you remember enjoying Sleep with Me, consider adding Olive Films' release to your collections. RECOMMENDED.
