Another good transfer from the American Film Theatre series. Watching the long version, it’s fascinating to see the brutal editing they did to get it to three hours. The cut portions, unsurprisingly, don’t match particularly well, but the sound is consistent throughout. Very nice.
Looks great. No complaints.
According to the booklet, Criterion applied DVNR for grain reduction and they did their typical hiss reduction. Regrettable, but their work doesn’t have distracting repairs and looks natural overall.
Looks amazing! Clear and sharp, with wonderful grain and a generous bitrate.
Natural grain, minimal processing, if any. I like that Vinegar Syndrome is willing to let film look rough instead of pursuing current demands for flawlessness.
Very nice color scan of a tinted print. In rough shape, but grain looks natural and no restoration artifacting. No complaints about the encoding. Looks great!
I already had the Eureka release of The Oyster Princess (1919), so I didn’t watch Kino’s encode, but it has the same wonderful score.
Meyer from Berlin (1919) is transferred at 18fps and encoded at 24fps. From EYE Filmmuseum.
