I sampled most of this set and couldn’t discover a flawed switch. All of them appeared to suit the movie. For instance, the 4K work on “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” the one movie within the set beforehand obtainable in 4K by itself, maintains the old style movie look of Ang Lee’s aesthetic as an alternative of over-polishing it into one thing that would have appeared like a cartoon. The colours of “Volver” pop off the display. The affection of SPC normally has translated to the movies on this set.
As for the flicks themselves, not solely are ten of them making their 4K debuts, together with a current Best Picture nominee, however the charming “SLC Punk!” has by no means been on Blu-ray in any respect prior to now. It’s a bit disappointing that SPC hasn’t made any of them obtainable standalone given the large price ticket on the complete set. If somebody needs to personal “Call Me by Your Name” or “Synecdoche, New York” in 4K with out having to purchase ten different movies, they need to give you the option to take action. However, critical collectors will adore this set, simply among the finest of the yr, and a reminder that we must always at all times take note of Sony Pictures Classics.
