Tema: Tucker: Un Hombre y su Sueño (Tucker: A Man and his Dream, Francis Ford Coppola, 1988)

Cortesía de Pathé. Me ha llegado hace nada. La codificación, representación del grano (hay UN MONTÓN de grano) y la colorimetría son gloriosos, uno de los mejores discos que he visto en este sentido. Una restauración maravillosa. La restauración ha corrido a cargo de Roundabout, supervisada por Coppola y Storaro. Se acompaña de un Blu-Ray que parte del mismo master restaurado que el disco UHD.

El único problema es que la presentación carece de HDR. Esto es extraño, porque la copia digital disponible en la tienda de peliculas de Apple claramente parte del mismo master pero se presenta en Dolby Vision.


Sin embargo, el disco se ve tan tan bien y la codificación es tan tan buena que... ¿realmente importa?


Hay extras variados, incluyendo una nueva introducción breve por parte del propio Coppola, así como un audiocomentario.

Pathe's recent release of Tucker The Man and His Dream could be a lesson to any number of filmmakers and studios that insist on tinkering with otherwise fine film scans. No Dolby Vision, no HDR at all, BT.709 color space rather than BT.2020, yet this is among the most appealing transfers I have had the pleasure of lighting up on the 98" TCL screen.

Gorgeous color palette, near perfect contrast and black level without a hint of blooming whites or crushed blacks. Zoetrope's work here is beautifully filmic with a naturally stable grain structure. I might even compare this to a really good blu-ray but on steroids. The expanded resolution adds that extra level of detail, clarity and stability that puts this transfer among the best I have seen.

There are two English soundtrack options, 2.0 (original?) and a 5.1 remix. While not overly flashy, the soundtrack offers a well-balanced soundfield with very good range offering clear, detailed dialog with good low frequency support where necessary. This was watched in 5.1.

Generally, the disc is "English-friendly" excepting forced French subtitles which is common on French releases. Those that transfer their discs to a server will have the software to deal with this single issue.

Tucker is a Lucasfilm production. Although the previous US Blu-ray was released by Lionsgate, Lucasfilm has since become part of Disney. That does not bode well for a US 4K disc release. One can hope...or import this gorgeous French release.

Me imagino que sin doblaje castellano, verdad?
