Somewhat Criterion related… the upcoming release (11/17) of “sex, lies, and videotape” is quite interesting for a Sony release.
Some of the special features on the BD release are from the original Criterion LD release but what I found interesting is this section on the special features about the restoration of the film. Kind of reminds me of the Criterion releases (primarily what we read on the booklets) because typically, Sony Blu-rays don’t really have an indepth explanation of the restoration process of a film (in this case, trying to capture the 1988 sound quality – more front channel, minimal surround and subwoofer channels). Also, during the commentary, Soderbergh and Neil LaBute talk about Eric Rohmer (for those who purchased the amazing “Six Moral Tales” box set from Criterion).
Anyway, for those of you who had the original Criterion LD of SLV and enjoyed the film might dig this BD release.
