Kubrick's masterwork Lolita finally on BR
The first lines of the film:Humbert: Quilty! Quilty?Quilty: Ah, wha? Who's there?Humbert: Are you Quilty.Quilty: No, I'm... Spartacus. You come to free the slaves or sumpn?Humbert: Are you Quilty?Quilty: Yeah, yeah, I'm Quilty, yeah, sure.We all know Stanley Kubrick's Lolita.Many of us have been waiting for years for this cinema classic to be released in HD.This review will concentrateon the BR playback experience and not the narrative.I initially feared that both Lolita and Barry Lyndon were part of a hurried transfer to facilitatethe recently released "Kubrick Limited Edition Collection" on BR. Basically a quick cash-grabpackage from Warner Brothers. I was expecting a rushed transfer with a PQ that left muchto be desired.During playback, I was pleasantly awarded with a PQ that was consistently satisfying.The b&w images displayed clean edge detail, luminous whites, believable mid-tones and levels of gray, aswell as deep black levels. Great contrast throughout the whole feature with very minor crush on only the darkestof blacks.Keep in mind that both Lolita and Barry Lyndon BRs were not part of an extensive fullrestoration project. Instead they are the result of clean and deft transfers.The PQ's overall detail at 1080P was more than enough to fill a 52" XBR lcd screen with authority.Projecting the BR image to a 150" screen ( via Sony VPL-VW50 1080P projector ) was a major treat,with no noticeable loss of detail or contrast ( the inky blacks, crisp whites and endless gray levels with just enough filmgrain remaining. )The SQ was equally satisfying presented in DTS-HD master-audio 5.1.As with the Barry Lyndon BR release, my minor complaints:Only 1 SD trailer included in this single disc, no other supplementary material.Flimsy BR case with no inner card, a spartan treatment of a cinema masterpiece..5 stars for the film4 stars for PQ and SQ1 star for the packaginghalf star for supplementary materialNext year ( 2012 ) will be 50 years since Lolita was released.....could there be a 50th Anniversary BR edition with allthe supplemental goodies awaiting in the wings? Maybe the Criterion Collection will take a swing at bat on BR?Who knows, but for now at under $15, this BR version satisfies.BTW the last 2 films in Kubrick's canon will be available on BR Aug 16th! The Killing BR disc will contain Killers Kiss ( both remastered).Kubrick disowned Fear and Desire, so I think a transfer into BR for that title would be wishful thinking.

The first lines of the film:

We all know Stanley Kubrick's Lolita.
Many of us have been waiting for years for this cinema classic to be released in HD.
This review will concentrate
on the BR playback experience and not the narrative.
I initially feared that both Lolita and Barry Lyndon were part of a hurried transfer to facilitate
the recently released "Kubrick Limited Edition Collection" on BR. Basically a quick cash-grab
package from Warner Brothers. I was expecting a rushed transfer with a PQ that left much
to be desired.
During playback, I was pleasantly awarded with a PQ that was consistently satisfying.
The b&w images displayed clean edge detail, luminous whites, believable mid-tones and levels of gray, as
well as deep black levels. Great contrast throughout the whole feature with very minor crush on only the darkest
of blacks.
Keep in mind that both Lolita and Barry Lyndon BRs were not part of an extensive full
restoration project. Instead they are the result of clean and deft transfers.
The PQ's overall detail at 1080P was more than enough to fill a 52" XBR lcd screen with authority.
Projecting the BR image to a 150" screen ( via Sony VPL-VW50 1080P projector ) was a major treat,
with no noticeable loss of detail or contrast ( the inky blacks, crisp whites and endless gray levels with just enough film
grain remaining. )
The SQ was equally satisfying presented in DTS-HD master-audio 5.1.
As with the Barry Lyndon BR release, my minor complaints:
Only 1 SD trailer included in this single disc, no other supplementary material.
Flimsy BR case with no inner card, a spartan treatment of a cinema masterpiece..
5 stars for the film
4 stars for PQ and SQ
1 star for the packaging
half star for supplementary material
Next year ( 2012 ) will be 50 years since Lolita was released.....could there be a 50th Anniversary BR edition with all
the supplemental goodies awaiting in the wings? Maybe the Criterion Collection will take a swing at bat on BR?
Who knows, but for now at under $15, this BR version satisfies.
