Blu-ray

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

Anton van Beek  |  Jan 29, 2013

The classic British satire brushes up extremely well on Blu-ray thanks to a new restoration

One of the extras on this Blu-ray release finds Martin Scorsese waxing lyrical about the film's digital restoration and thanking those involved (both technically and financially). The plaudits are entirely deserved. Powell and Pressburger's classic military satire looks sensational on this new Blu-ray platter, with the AVC 1.37:1 1080p encode breathing new life into the Technicolor imagery. This limited edition steelbook also includes a 24-minute featurette, photo gallery and bonus DVD copy.
