D-Cinema released by Europe's Finest, in Finland with Bio Rex Distribution and Pirkanmaan Elokuvakeskus, with English subtitles.
Viewed in Bio Rex 3, Sello, Espoo, 3 Dec 2008.
The first D-Cinema release of a classic film in Finland. First screened in Finland on 2 and 3 Dec, 2008. I was the only spectator in the second screening of the film that was screened without advertising.
The D-Cinema presentation was good, very close to a 35 mm screening. There was a real black, the picture was ultra-sharp. Better than 16 mm, better than Blu-Ray. The presentation did justice to the film.
This is a film shot completely in interiors, with few people, with many medium shots and close-ups. Last summer I saw many vintage Bergman prints which looked like they have been struck from the negative. It would be interesting to compare a good 35 mm presentation with D-Cinema of The Seventh Seal.
