Brilliant film, debatable DVD quality...
Review date: 2007-04-20 Rating: 10 out of 10
Maggie Smith in her BAFTA winning performance as Judith Hearne, supported by Bob Hoskins as her flirtatious fellow lodger. This film has long been absent from the DVD market and gets a deserved release now. One of Handmade Films best productions, the only thing that lets this down is Anchor Bay's bad mastering of the print. Many scenes have characters with partly missing heads as the aspect ratio has been changed; changing TV screen preference (if your TV has that capability) doesn't seem to help the problem either. Shame on you Anchor Bay! This may not be a key release but it is an important British film from a pioneering company and features the 1st lady of British actors-- a little more effort in putting the DVD together would have been welcome.
