He certainly did!

I actually have a copy of LONG JENNIE SILVER

I thought making the photographs black-and-white was a pretty smart move when the viewfinder marks aren't always visible due to Storaro's 2.00:1 ratio which is, to put it mildly, far from ideal. It easily differentiates the shots from the camera to those in the rest of the film.

And is it as utterly weird and slightly kinky as the book makes out?

Only saw that scene - only wanted to see it out of curiosity, and it's not as a bad as it's made out to be. She just kind of sticks it in there. Although I think if I hadn't read about it before hand I would have been shocked.

I agree with you to an extent
But its all the mistakes that Arrow have gone along with like Storato's wrong ratio etc
I've been a hard core Argento since the days of video and when dvd was available GREAT!
I have so all his films on dvd/blu ray and just very disappointed with Arrow over one of the best giallos ever - shame

Tell me about it. We've heard that often enough by now.

So could you please stop moaning? I guess it's clear that we all wanted the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. But now we have to live with the 2.00:1 Univisium. As you do not own the Arrow release - have fun with your BU release, but don't nag. It's no use crying over spilt milk. And besides: the Arrow release is nevertheless great.

No offense, but I had to say that.

Greetings!

PS: The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is Blu-ray only.

Not their fault though, they paid for the rights and were given a compromised version. Can't blame for them releasing it and trying to recoup their costs.

I often find when something really strange catches me off guard it has a far greater impact than when you know something is coming and what the 'something' will be. A prime example is Audition as I knew nothing about it when I first saw it and boy, did it sideswipe me!
