Query: Dated movie, dire transfer

David Hamilton's oeuvre of late 1970s erotica is known above all for its imagery, particularly his limpid images of teenage girls exploring their sensuality. Plot, such as it is, is simply a device to link the nude scenes. It's dated stuff but he still has a following. Arguments rage over whether it's art or smut. Like it or loathe it there can be no argument that picture is paramount.This Australian DVD release fails Hamilton badly because of the dire quality of the transfer. It has been mastered from videotape rather than film and mastered badly. The image quality is coarse and the early scenes are further marred by video tracking error. The frame edges are ragged rather than sharp and straight. The aspect ratio is 1.33:1 rather than the 1.85:1 of the 35mm cinema release.Save your money and hold out for a version remastered from the original film elements and presented in 1.85:1.
