Description
Phantom of the Paradise (1974), directed by Brian De Palma, hybrid remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 5.1 remaster, original theatrical stereo, isolated score and effects, two commentary tracks, and subtitles in English and Spanish.
IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071994/
Video encoded in two-pass 14.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Text subtitles converted to SRT, image subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.
Note : Brian De Palma directing a 70s rock opera which tries to adapt The Phantom of the Opera, The Portrait of Dorian Grey, and Faust all in a 90-minute runtime? That sounds absurd, and it kind of is, yet it kind of works. Notoriously a badly-reviewed flop when released, it's grown to cult status and much more critical acclaim over time. What's certain is that's it's a flamboyant, weird, outrageous look at 70s rock culture, and it features a lot of actors who we've seen before, including William Finley, Paul Williams, Jessica Harper of Suspiria fame, George Memmoli, and our favorite weirdo Gerrit Graham. If you like 70s music, campy glam stuff, and horror parodies, this is probably for you. It also features one of the coolest and most impressive 70s analog synths I've ever seen.
Legendary record producer Swan hears composer Winslow perform one of his songs, from a cantata based on Faust. Swan wants Winslow's music for the opening of his new concert hall The Paradise, and has his henchman Arnold steal it. When Winslow goes to Swan's Death Records later to inquire about the contract Swan had alluded to, he's thrown out, and then sneaks into an audition, where he discovers the singers are auditioning to sing his music, and he meets Phoenix, a young singer who he thinks would be perfect for his work. However, Swan frames Winslow for drug possession and gets him sent to prison for life, where his teeth are extracted and replaced with metal dentures. When Winslow later hears that The Juicy Fruits, one of Swan's bands, will be performing his Faust at the opening of The Paradise, he escapes prison, breaks into the record company, but has an accident with a record pressing machine which leaves his face burned and his vocal cords destroyed. Thought dead after falling into the East River, Winslow dons a metal mask and reinvents himself as The Phantom of the Paradise, terrorizing the musicians until he comes to a deal with Swan. However, Swan is more sinister than he seems, and has dark, occult secrets that will eventually have to come to the surface.
This is not the world's best transfer, but it makes up for it with eye-popping color and contrast, which probably isn't entirely true to the original, but fits the material very well. It's also nice and clean, and fairly sharp, so I can't complain too much. As expected, the audio sounds great, and the commentary tracks are pretty fun.
