Dekalog

[misfit]

Criterion trochę pokpił sprawę, że cały serial wrzucili na dwie płyty BD (trzecia - Krótki film o zabijaniu i miłości, czwarta - dodatki), stąd też niezbyt zachwycający bitrate dla obrazu (~18 Mb), ale tak czy siak prezentuje się to wyraźnie lepiej, szczególnie jeśli chodzi o kadrowanie i kompresję w stosunku do polskiego wydania.

Za miesiąc wychodzi wydanie UK od Arrow, jest już pełna specyfikacja oraz wygląd.
