Re: 957 Mikey and Nicky
Looks great and looks like the U.S. DVD holds up well too. Clearly SD, but otherwise no oversharpening and the black levels and color palette are often very close to what's seen on the new BD, with some notable exceptions that can be chalked up to the colorist's choice.

I found this interesting and enjoyable enough, and I thought the scrappy, lo-fi approach to what could have been a much more conventionally dramatic story worked well, but the thought that kept haunting me throughout is "why is Elaine May making a John Cassavetes film when she could be making an Elaine May film?"

Re: 957 Mikey and Nicky
I don’t think the subject matter is *that* far removed from, say, Ishtar, in that it’s about two co-dependent ne’er-do-wells, but I agree that I’d rather have seen a comedic take on the material. Falk obviously had the timing for it.zedz wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 3:39 pmI found this interesting and enjoyable enough, and I thought the scrappy, lo-fi approach to what could have been a much more conventionally dramatic story worked well, but the thought that kept haunting me throughout is "why is Elaine May making a John Cassavetes film when she could be making an Elaine May film?"
It does baffle me that people consider this May’s masterpiece. I like it pretty well, but definitely not as much as her other three features.
