Dogtooth(2009)Three young people exist in a strange world of their parents' devising. For more about Dogtooth and the Dogtooth Blu-ray release, see Dogtooth Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on September 10, 2019 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Yorgos Lanthimos Writers: Efthymis Filippou, Yorgos Lanthimos Starring: Christos Stergioglou, Michele Valley, Angeliki Papoulia, Mary Tsoni, Christos Passalis, Anna Kalaitzidou Producers: Yorgos Tsourgiannis, Yorgos Lanthimos » See full cast & crew Dogtooth Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber. I don't have the first release of the film that Kino Lorber produced in 2011, which is now out of print. I only have the Region-B release that Verve Pictures produced in 2010. However, I remember testing the previous domestic release, and I know that it was sourced from the same master. This brand new release is sourced from the same (older) master as well. What is important to underscore here is that the film now runs at a different speed, which I believe is the correct one. The Region-B release is encoded in 1080/50i and has a running time of approximately 94 minutes. The U.S. release is encoded in 1080p and has a running time of approximately 97 minutes. This is the main discrepancy between the two releases. Now, I think that the film looks decent, often even good in high-definition, but this film can definitely benefit from a fresh remaster. Some of the darker areas for instance can have more consistent density and wider ranges of fine nuances, and this particular limitation does not surprise me at all because it is very common on masters that were done a decade ago. Some of the highlights can be rebalanced as well. The color scheme is fine, but this is another area where I think that there is room for some meaningful rebalancing work that can improve saturation. Finally, a new remaster will surely eliminate the surprising amount of tiny white specks and even a few tiny black dots that pop up here and there. My score is 3.75/5.00. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content). Dogtooth Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two standard audio tracks on this Blu-ray release: Greek DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and Greek DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English subtitles are provided for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame. I revisited the film with the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Clarity and balance are very nice. Depth is hard to critique because outside of the random exchanges the rest is essentially a mish-mash of minimalist organic sounds and noises. There are no stability issues to report. (As noted elsewhere, the here the audio is pitched differently as well). Dogtooth: Other Editions
