Voilà la question que se posent de nombreux fans de L’Au-delà lors de l’achat d’une nouvelle édition vidéo du film de Lucio Fulci, le prologue de celui-ci étant régulièrement proposé dans des étalonnages différents. Il faut croire que le futur Blu-ray des Anglais de Shameless mettra tout le monde d’accord en regroupant pas moins de quatre versions de l’incipit de ce classique de l’horreur transalpine. Eh oui : le transfert 1080p (remasterisé en 2K qui plus est) permettra au consommateur de choisir son étalonnage préféré (dont un totalement inédit) grâce à la magie du seamless branching. Autre bonne nouvelle, cette galette collector attendue pour la fin janvier inclura quelques bonus dont deux commentaires audio et une salve d’interviews.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

• NEW 2K REMASTER OF THE FILM
• FIRST-EVER PRESENTATION of the film with four different versions of the prologue, seamlessly branched:
  • Standard sepia
  • Original color camera footage
  • B&W version
  • NEW fourth-way: presented as a homage to director Lucio Fulci and director of Photography, DOP Sergio Salvati. For this new alternative prologue version, for the first time ever, Shameless have used the restored color camera footage as a base on which a new golden toning was applied in reference to known considerations from DOP Salvati. All other sepia tint were monochrome. The result of applying tone over the newly rediscovered and restored color footage is that the reds of the gore are now strikingly visible and all the light sources such as the torches and car headlights are much more luminous and enhancing a painterly chiaroscuro never presented before.
