finally debuts for its 30th anniversary on the ultra-high definition disc format for picky home theater lovers to appreciate director James Ivory’s 1993 British period drama adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker-Prize winning novel.
A lumbering plot often explored Stevens’ extreme blind devotion to his role as a servant played out to the level of ignoring his antisemitic boss, his father’s deteriorating health and, mainly, an unrequited love for Miss Kenton. Just take, for example, the high dynamic range enhancements offering an expansive variation of green hues as witnessed from the countryside to the top of a billiards table, clipped shrubbery, wine bottles, vines, a 1939 Daimler, a textured towel, flora against the fauna, a patterned couch and pingpong table.
The track, by the way, has been around since the 2001 DVD release and has the cheery group offering humorous and entertaining stories from the set, all thrilled by the end effort and each complimenting colleagues for their efforts.
