斯巴达克斯

This edition has been mastered from a good 16mm reduction print that is contrasty and dark, with a few blasted-out highlights but also with dark, featureless shadows, which makes discerning picture details rather difficult. The film looks slightly better here than on Grapevine’s VHS videotape release of the 1990s. 　　The film is accompanied by an updated orchestral music score of stock film music of higher fidelity than older Grapevine product. The dynamics of the music are sometimes greater than the level of the film’s action of the moment, which makes the music feel overwrought. That being said, the music is better than the usual compilation of low-fidelity recordings. 　　-silentera.com
