"The Blu-ray release of Darling is in black and white and in it's 1.66:1 theatrical aspect ratio. Sadly the AVC encoded 1080p/24 transfer is clearly an older one and certainly hasn't be restored, as Studio Canal's marketing claims. In actual fact the print itself is in fairly mediocre condition, with obvious damage on occasion and dirt and scratches around optical effects. For its 50th anniversary there really should have been a full restoration of the original 35mm camera negative, ideally at a 4K resolution. Instead of which we get a dirty old print and, if that wasn't bad enough, the transfer itself is also poor."
