Overall, Milestone’s presentation of Filibus (1915) on BD is very nice and free from restoration processing artifacts. However, it has some editing and mastering errors.

During the feature, there are three instances where a blank green image flashes on screen, as if the video tracks used for tinting the titles got misaligned. They occur at 21:57, 25:38, and 25:48, shown below:

I appreciate the new English intertitles and the attempt to emulate the look of film, complete with grain and cement splice jumps.

An easy-to-miss error happens at the very end. The last frame is mistakenly placed at the beginning of the final shot (frame numbers in yellow):

The bonus films included on the BD are hard subbed. Hard subs are always disappointing, but if you’re going to use them, the safe area still matters:

I watched it with the fine Mont Alto score, but I recommend listening to Donald Sosin’s with Joanna Seaton’s vocals first. Sosin wrote a delightful theme song that fits the pulpy and slightly goofy film wonderfully.

Filibus is transferred at 18 fps and encoded at 24 fps. Its intertitles run at 24 fps.
