Movie Reviews of A Room With A View
Movie Review: Bad Region Code
Summary: 1 Stars
Product was not compatible with my player. Makes no sense for Amazon to sell/ship product with incompatible region code to US/Canada. My inquiries regarding exchanging product for a region 1 version were never addressed.Movie Review: Even more beautiful in HD
Summary: 4 Stars
What a great movie and looks all the better in HD. This disc really lets the fine cinematography come through. The imagery is simply stunning. The sounds track is also very good.Movie Review: For Maggie Smith fans
Summary: 5 Stars
You can never go wrong when Maggie Smith's name appears in the credits of any movie.Movie Review: My Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite movie. Really. The imagery. The initial subtlety. The comedy of it all. I had to read the book afterwards, but really the movie's ending is actually better.
My only regret is that we have not seen more beautiful movies like this since; and especially that we have not seen more of this wonderful cast.
If you like this movie, another that I enjoy in the same way is "Enchanted April."
Movie Review: Like a restored painting
Summary: 5 Stars
I own and love the standard dvd and therefore hesitated to purchase the HD-DVD version which I was afraid could add only incrementally to a great viewing experience. However, my fears are completely dispelled. The BBC have produced a tremendous transfer which brings about as much depth, color and detail as can be expected from 20 year old film stock. The details in the ornate interiors, the delicate dresses, the frescoes, the faces, and the lush countryside are beautifully rendered, and the colors, though saturated, appear very natural. True, there is a bit of dot crawl now and again and the blacks are not always as deep as we have come to expect but overall this is a fantastic restoration that breathes new life into an exquisite movie and is a huge improvement over the standard version. Coupled with incredible acting, delightful irony and strong direction, this comedy of manners and sensitive portait of physical awakening in a constricted era, becomes a wonderful experience that I strongly recommend.
