Tokyo Sonata(2008)An ordinary family in modern Japan is caught in the throes of inert pride, stymied by their own inability to communicate honestly with one another. Lies lead to suspicion, until the veneer of their civility shatters, with tragic consequences. For more about Tokyo Sonata and the Tokyo Sonata Blu-ray release, see Tokyo Sonata Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on June 12, 2009 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa Writers: Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Max Mannix, Sachiko Tanaka Starring: Teruyuki Kagawa, Kanji Tsuda, Koji Yakusho, Yû Koyanagi, Haruka Igawa, Kyôko Koizumi Producer: Wouter Barendrecht » See full cast & crew Tokyo Sonata Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Tokyo Sonata arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of UK-based distributors Eureka Entertainment. I liked this transfer a lot. Contrast is very good, clarity adequate and detail pleasing. The color-scheme is convincing as well – blues, greens, grays, blacks and whites are well saturated and natural. Furthermore, neither edge-enhancement nor macroblocking are a serious issue of concern. When blown through a digital projector, the transfer also remains notably stable and tight to the frame. This being said, some of the indoor scenes occasionally look a bit soft (as intended by director Kurosawa). On the other hand, the outdoor scenes are consistently sharp. Additionally, I did not detect patterns of heavy noise reduction. Finally, the actual transfer is notably healthy – there are no disturbing scratches, debris, dirt, or stains to report in this review. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray release. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). Tokyo Sonata Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are three audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0, Japanese Dolby TrueHD 2.0 and Japanese Dolby Digital 2.0. I opted for the Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track and later on did a few random comparisons with the other two tracks for the purpose of this review. As mentioned by director Kurosawa in one of the supplemental features on the disc, Tokyo Sonata has a very delicate audio structure. Generally speaking, the DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track does a good job of revealing how carefully composed the film is. Silence in particular is treated very effectively. On the other hand, the dialog is crisp, clear and very easy to follow. The lovely minimalistic soundtrack, courtesy of Kazumasa Hashimoto, is also treated convincingly. This being said, I did not detect any disturbing dropouts, pops, cracks, or hissings to report in this review. I quickly tested the Dolby TrueHD 2.0 track and, as far as I am concerned, it is practically identical to the DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. I did not notice any dynamic differences that would force one to choose the one over the other. The dialog also appears equally crisp and easy to follow. Tokyo Sonata: Other Editions
