Scarface 1983 - 35th Anniversary [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free]

Product Information

You may have guessed but this is another of my favourite movies and I think one of yours too! Scarface The Film Vault Range 4K UHD It’s a shame - especially in light of the sometimes odd looking color work - that Universal hasn’t provided a Dolby Vision or HDR10+ master of the film. It’s HDR10 only. SCARFACE 35TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION / THE SCARFACE PHENOMENON / THE WORLD OF TONY MONTANA / THE REBIRTH / THE ACTING / THE CREATING I’m a bit torn on this one, unfortunately. There are some good aspects to the 4K transfer, but it certainly not up there with the very best 4K remasters we’ve seen. Other documentaries after that comprise: a good 12-minute look at the real world that gave birth to Tony Montana; an interesting 10-minute featurette considering this Scarface alongside the Howard Hawks original; a fascinating 15-minute featurette on the film’s unforgettable cast; and anunmissable half hour feature on the making of the film, taking in everything from the locations to the direction, script, stunt work and cinematography.

And why? Montana feels owed something, the promised American success he distorts to suit him. When that isn’t offered, when control is torn from Montana, and when violence takes those closest to him, the melee ensues. In that way, Scarface isn’t inherently critical toward immigration, so much as the empty political promises that boast about America’s ideal. Opening frames, via news footage, follows a boat of Cubans headed to Florida. There’s an unidentified man on board with his son; that man points, and an edit cuts to the American flag. Everyone smiles. It’s serene. Then comes Tony Montana (Al Pacino). Are you into collecting limited edition 4K releases of your favourite movies? If so you may be interested in Scarface The Film Vault Range 4K UHD which released on Monday in the UK. While Universal has managed to inject quite a bit of extra dynamic range into the synth score, there’s seldom much bass to speak of. Except for when Tony gets out his little friend, anyway... This inconsistency extends to the picture’s sharpness and detail, too. For while some sequences look spectacularly crisp and detailed, as noted previously, others - particularly exterior shots with lots of depth to them - can look rather soft.

Limited to just 3000 copies, this new 4K version also comes with the blu-ray included and has a rigid clamshell box with a magnectic closure. Star Video Al Pacino DTS:X F. Murray Abraham mary elizabeth mastrantonio michelle pfeiffer uhd universal The 4K Blu-ray’s wider color range is more effective in other areas. For instance, it helps to build more period presence into the classic ostentatious 1980s locations and neon lighting. It’s just a shame that it feels at times as if the color’s just been dialled up on a rather uniform basis, without paying enough attention to the specific needs of different elements of each shot. The use of HDR is fairly limited - according to the metadata reader on my Panasonic UB820 4K Blu-ray player, the maximum frame average brightness level is just 155 nits (though somewhere in there is a peak light level of 1000 nits). In those outbursts, Scarface reacts. Montana is meant to be feared. So too are Cuban refugees. Scarface openly criticizes the broken system that lets a Tony Montana infect Miami. If not him, than any desperate American who feels owed their dream, and sees the out in a system openly inviting their want.Scarface (1983) is a truly iconic movie from director Brian De Palma. It stars Al Pacino, Steven Bauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. Say hello to my little friend! In the spring of 1980, the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it on the sun-washed avenues of Miami. Wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams. He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name, Scarface. That means exceptional detail too, drawing textural qualities from Miami’s sights and dazzling via facial definition. Resolution produces firm, consistent sharpness. At home, Scarface never showed this degree of fidelity; the jump is substantial. There are regular efforts to open the soundstage up with subtle ambient effects that at times wrap right around you in a surprisingly effective way. Even though you only occasionally (such as during the film’s climactic shootout) get that sense of a three-dimensional, object-filled audio space that’s associated with good modern DTS:X mixes. On the UHD, a 27-minute Tribeca conversation with De Palma, Pfeiffer, and Pacino discusses the production. That’s new. Also, the 1932 Scarface finally makes the jump to Blu-ray after years of being included as a DVD only. Note there’s also a collector’s set with a replica statue –“The World is Ours” piece outside Montana’s office – and it’s made of solid plastic. There’s weight to it.
