About the film
Sylvia, an industrial scientist, is troubled by strange hallucinations related to the tragic suicide of her mother.
Director: Alan Clarke
Video format: UHD Blu-ray
The 88 Films 4K Blu-ray is disappointing. Indicator Blu-ray > 88 Films Blu-ray. From nicolas:
Fine master, solid HDR but very poorly encoded with strong blocking artifacts in normal areas and clipped highlights that bring Criterion’s Walkabout to mind. Their Blu-ray is slightly better overall but then again still not as good as FiM’s encode for Indicator.
Director: Vincent Sherman
Indicator Blu-ray > Kino Lorber see DVDBeaver
Indicator is using a different restoration from earlier Kino Lorber Blu-ray and it has much better contrast and slightly better grain resolution
Director: John M. Stahl
Indicator Blu-ray is encoded by FiM and likely better than Kino Lorber Blu-ray
