In Reply to: How's the video quality? The subtitles? n/t posted by clarkjohnsen on May 22, 2001 at 16:25:14:
Not bad at all. We watched it on a 100" 4:3 projector and it was *extremely* enjoyable. The image is letterboxed from the original wide screen, so the subtitles are over the black band on the bottom - a nice touch. But of course, I used the subs only on few occasions, as I could still understand their Russian, plus they don't speak all that much. There were few translation boo-boo's that we found funny.But I honestly didn't expect it to be this enjoyable - after twenty years I thought it would be a ho-hum experience, but it was not. All those 1970-vintage Soviet special effects nothwithstanding.
It spurred me to look for more films with Banionis - a former love of virtually all Russian women, and mine too. But I found none even at the bestvideo. A very good actor. One I would love to see is "Nobody Wanted to Die" - I remember loving that move about the post-WWII struggle in Lithuania.
But tonight we shall revisit the Mirror - after about 26 years. I am looking forward, but my wife is already bitching.
I know she'll come around...
