re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I watched The Decameron last night. I enjoyed it, but was thrown off by the heavy use of ADR. Did Passolini use live microphones on set, or was the entire film dubbed? I thought some of the actors might have been non-Italians saying their lines in their native tongues, and had their dialogue dubbed later on.

In many cases, the dialogue may not have even been written until post-production. Fellini was famous for having his actors just recite their grocery lists to get their lips moving.

^ ^^ Thanks, I thought that might have been the case. I know this proctice was prevalent in the HK film industry, I just didn't know it was the same in Italy.

I've never heard of it either, but I saw on Wikipedia it's been selected for preservation by the Library of Congress.

Any chance that they have been able to license the Wild Man Fischer song that had to be changed during the roller derby scene ("Merry-go-round")? Knowing just a little about it, I suspect not.
Also Peter Boyele and Peter Boneerz.

Talking about The Shining...correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't The Shining have issues. OAR not being maintained and I think colors being a little bit off at times?

Yeah, the aspect ratio on the Shining BD is fine, but the pink tennis ball and toy truck are absurd and inexplicable. It takes me out of the movie every time.
