3 out of 5 stars Another strikeout from Waterbearer   August 6, 2003
Scott Richardson (Chicago, IL USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The other reviews have covered the film sufficiently, so I'll just focus on this new DVD edition (although I will say that it seemed to be a bit of a re-hash of Nights of Cabiria without any of the pathos).pActually, calling it new is a bit of a misnomer, as it appears to be a transfer from an old videotape. This is strongly evident near the end of the film where there are two instances of scrolling video distortion.pI really wanted to like this disc. The transfer itself is actually fairly clear (although slightly muted and/or washed-out) and mostly free of specks and dirt (except at the end of each reel). Unfortunately, as with the previous three Waterbearer Pasolini DVD's, this one suffers from no chapter stops and burned-in (non-optional), frequently-unreadable subtitles. At the price Waterbearer is charging, the consumer is going to expect a great deal more than they're getting.pRent it if you're curious, but I'd advise against purchasing this disc unless you're a die-hard Pasolini fan.
