Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Which DVD did you buy? I'm just curious as to what you thought about the Subtitles. :)

I bought the Edko (it has a good Korean language DTS track) because of your warning about the Spectrum subtitles. $9.95 at CD Wow. These subtitles were quite good (white with a black border around each letter, very readable even when projected over a white background, also pretty good English with a few errors in spelling and grammar, seemed to accurately reflect what was going on) except that when there was a long subtitle the end was cut off many times. It would just stop in midsentence, even in midword. At times they expanded a long line (by the speaker) to two lines (on the screen) so one has to wonder why they didn't do that every time it was necessary. Most of the time it wasn't difficult to figure out what was missing but it was distracting. But unlike the Spectrum, you don't have to decipher the English at least.

Surprisingly, it wasn't anamorphic. Still, the picture was clear although a bit soft. That wasn't as bothersome as the cut off subtitles.

Apparently, no one has put this film on DVD as it should be. Given the good job Edko did with my House of Flying Daggers DVD, I have to be somewhat disappointed in the Il Mare DVD but definitely not in the film itself.

Hmmm. Sounds like I should get the Edko disc, rip the subs off of it and put them on a DVDR with the Spectrum re-release transfer.

Hopefully a US distributor will pick up the rights to Il Mare and put together a solid DVD release.

I just returned from watching this. I was rather disappointed. The chemistry between the leads was great, but the story was completely predictable.

did anyone see this movie? i don't want to know about the damn trailer, tell me what you thought about the movie.

Did you even read one single post in this thread? :) Like the one directly above yours....

Noobs...
