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!

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!

Oh, the HORROR!

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...
