3 out of 5 stars poor blu-ray   November 1, 2008

The film is fab.
Antonioni has such a distinctive eye for lines and colour that you'd think he'd be a prime candidate for high definition.

He'll stop the plot just to look down the street for two minutes, if he likes the angle of the buildings.

He finds a window shaped like a cinematic widescreen ratio in RED DESERT, and if you look through it, you'll see a ship pass by from prow to stern.

He studies colour in RED DESERT, his first colour film, in splotches and bands, as if to observe its effect on the greyscale he was used to, bleeding it into the black and white.

RED DESERT is art.

But this transfer does no favours to blu-ray as the way ahead.
I see little difference between my dvd version and this BFI blu-ray disc. It's way overpriced when you also take into account the limited extras.

If companies continue with banal transfers from copy negs like this, then blu-ray isn't going to catch on.
