That's actually the one I've got (along with the initial 2006 release), which I assumed was the same transfer as the 2009 Skynet Edition, as blu-ray.com didn't review it. So, I've got the best one, then! Sweet!
My copy of the 2015 Region A Lionsgate blu-ray turned up from the US and it is a lot better the the 2009 "Skynet" Region B blu-ray. I did a comparison of the same frame from all three releases: http://www.framecompare.com/image-compar...n/D7YZGNNX
Ahhh
, finally a half decent version of Terminator 2 to enjoy at home.Fear Eats the Soul (1974)
West-German Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder is rapidly becoming one of my favourites. The way he composes figures inside the 4:3 frame is so powerful, conveying their emotions through relations with negative space and environment. Emmi, a short, podgy, old, white German cleaning lady takes refuge in a bar on a rainy night and strikes up a charming love affair with Ali, a tall, muscular, much younger, black Moroccan immigrant worker. They are blissfully happy together at first but their visual mismatch and (then) controversial interracial relationship brings derision, vitriol and miserable isolation from friends, work colleagues and family. Brigitte Mira's performance is the highlight, her face drooping with misery, crumpled with nervousness, or lighting up with joy.
This fan made trailer is really nice and captures the spirit of the piece:
