  • Outstanding movie with one caveat

    I have been waiting for years for this movie, previously only available on VHS, to be available in a digital format. The movie itself is as good as I remember it with amazing performances by a very talented cast. the image and sound quality are superb. The one significant drawback is that the original film had subtitles for the dialog that takes place among the Niaruna. The acting is so good that I almost didn't notice its absence, or maybe since I had seen the movie several times before I filled in the meaning of the words myself. I still think this digital version, the first of its kind, is well worth the purchase and hopefully future versions will have the subtitles!
