Cosmopolis
Cronenberg's limo ride into hell provides a journey to hi-def heaven on Blu-ray
Equal parts hypnotic, claustrophobic and didactic, Cronenberg's latest film sees the 69-year old filmmaker at his most experimental. While unlikely to find favour with fans hoping for a return to his g(l)ory days as a purveyor of body horror, it's still an oddly irresistible piece of cinema, and the Blu-ray it arrives on is equally impressive. Admittedly, the DTS-HD MA 5.1 mix isn't given too much to work with in terms of dynamics, but the AVC 1.85:1 1080p encode revels in the original digital photography. Best of all though is the fascinating 110-minute Making of… doc.
