Movie Reviews of Purple Noon

Movie Review: "Ripley" was better...
Summary: 3 Stars

I saw "Talented Mr Ripley" first, then read the book, then saw "Purple Noon." I think "Ripley" was much more faithful to the book, much better-acted and directed. WHat I didn't like about PURPLE NOON is that it picks up right in the middle of the book, with no exposition or development of any of the characters. And the ending was very finite, not open-ended the way "Ripley's" was. What DID i like about Purple Noon? It's the most beautiful color and cinematography I think I've ever seen on a screen.... gorgeously photographed.

Movie Review: Lousy DVD from Disney
Summary: 2 Stars

No problems with the film itself, I saw the theatrical release several years ago, and loved it. I refuse to buy the lame excuse for a DVD that Buena Vista has offered. When will the message get through? Serious films need the serious treatment on disc, especially if we are going to be gouged with Disney prices. The absence of anamorphic enhancement on this film is close to criminal in my eyes, and the rest of the shoddy package, right down to the boilerplate on the case, is an insult. Criterion did a Laser Disc of this film, and this DVD needs the Criterion treatment. Tell me I'm having a bad dream!!

Movie Review: Great movie but DVD had technical problems
Summary: 2 Stars

This movie had some strange problems at the menu level and at the end of the playback. Sometimes there was a dark screen at the beginning, also it was not possible to start the movie using some of the menu links. At the very end playback became jumpy. All those problems are probably an effect of faulty manufacturing, surface of this DVD doesn't look perfect.
