Vertigo

There is nothing else like it. Hopefully Robert Harris will be able to fully complete his 1998 restoration with modern tools as he has stated would be ideal. And the 5.1 mix is beyond atrocious. Despite the dropouts and hiss, the 5th gen mono track on the MC DVD is essential. i still feel like the restoration has never been ported to disc quite well as it could, and even RH has admitted they did the best they could with the color but it isn't fully accurate.

The 1998 Restoration is such an unfortunate mixed bag. Video wise, though it is remarkably clean, the color's don't look accurate, compared to an old VHS I bought in a rummage sale. As for the audio, that's a disaster. The 5.1 pulls far too much attention to itself, and the mono is much preferable. Luckily, I managed to sync the mono from the MC DVD to a 1080i HDTV rip I downloaded.

I am excited that I'll be seeing this in 70mm this month! Hopefully, the picture will make the audio more bearable.
