Visconti's "La Terra Trema" DVD Review (with screen captures)
My Full review can be accessed by CLICKING HERE.
The Image Entertainment DVD is from an un-restored print and although it has moments where this is very apparent, mostly the image is quite acceptable. There are even brief times where sharpness is exhibited, but nothing beyond what would be expected for a film of this age (1948). Small speckles and scratches are prevalent throughout. There is the ability to turn off the English subtitles (for people who understand Italian). The DVD has no extras. As with "Rocco and his Brothers" I do remember adjusting the volume up, but only in one specific occasion (at around 110 minutes). The DVD menu has 22 chapters. I rate it 3/5. A restored print (not in existence), commentary , trailers or documentary would have obviously increased this rating.
Regards,
