Re: Essential Fellini
More of a shame they didn't include Un agenzia matrimoniale or Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio, the two-half films you need to get to 8½

A pretty monumental new study - FELLINI 23 1/2 Tutti i film - by Aldo Tassone, just published in Italian by Cineteca di Bologna, all 880 pages of it!...

Re: Essential Fellini
See also Pasolini’s The Canterbury Tales, which for me plays much better in English. (Tom Baker, like Freddie Jones, has too distinctive a voice to take kindly to having it replaced by an anonymous Italian.)Roger Ryan wrote:True, but if the English-speaking actors in the cast came in and dubbed their own voices for an alternate soundtrack to be used in English-speaking markets, then it would be nice to have that soundtrack as an option.

Nights of Cabiria looks superb at Beaver. Really stunning, and I almost feel like it's not the norm these days to see a restoration look so good!

Is the screenshot for 'Amarcord' on the Criterion page for the boxset from the Ritrovata restoration? It doesn't seem to have that strong yellow tint that I was expecting.

I've been having internet problems last day or two, thought they were mostly all straightened out. But: is dvdbeaver.com up? Can't seem to get to it as of right now.Drucker wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 5:34 pmNights of Cabiria looks superb at Beaver.

Re: Essential Fellini
It's not working for me either.
Is Nights of Cabiria the only one from the boxset reviewed so far?

Re: Essential Fellini
It's no surprise : the SC BD was quite disappointing, obviously filtered and with quite a harsh contrast. Glad to see the new 4K restoration fixes this despite being seemingly sourced at least from the same element.

So that's where the missing audio commentary was.

A color scheme that looks quite nice!

Re: Essential Fellini
I think shots 6 and 8 could be questionable (and 8 only in direct comparison to Criterion's older transfer, because on its own it looks alright), but other than that, being a Ritrovata job, the colors appear fine.

Re: Essential Fellini
There are a few caps that indeed allow to instantly know which lab did the work, but other than that, yes, many other caps don't bear their usual signature at all. I wonder how it compares to the IT BD.

Re: Amarcord the contrast looks a little bit crushed to me, but yeah, the color's not a disaster.

Re: Essential Fellini
Amarcord is not a political film?
Anyways, I think it looks pretty good, and I'm curious about revisiting it. The first and only time I saw it, I was very tired and it was on a laptop. Not a very memorable experience.

Re: Essential Fellini
The new Juliet of the Spirits transfer looks noticeably lighter and has hints of teal/yellow per DVDBeaver
