I'm talking about the 1981 directoral debut of Jean-Jacques Beineix. If you haven't seen it, you should consider renting the tape. A very hip, stylish thriller.

The Fox Loerber transfer has the worst audio I have ever heard on a DVD. It is SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE than an average VHS transfer.

So even if you loved this movie (as I did), stay away from the Fox Loerber DVD.

A guy at my video store told me that Criterion used to have this as a LD. Has anyone heard anything about a Criterion version of this movie? I'd love to see them release a decent quality DVD...

Thanks. I was about to buy this, and then I checked your review..

There was a post a bit back that said that this movie was getting a better transfer later this year. Hold out! http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Also on a side note, there has been word out of Hollywood that this movie is getting redone, and will star Will Smith, and Whitney Houston! http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/frown.gif

The reason my DVD player was the "most expensive" gift I've ever received.

Anchor Bay is doing a reissue of this title sometime later in the year. Avoid the Fox Lorber version and get the new one in 6 months or so...
