Closer [Superbit]

"Mike Nichols' award-winning adaptation of Patrick Marber's emotionally lacerating play Closer arrives on DVD in the Superbit format. This type of disc maximizes the amount of memory used to recreate the film's image and sound at the expense of many extras. The 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen image is state-of-the-art, and the English 5.1 Dolby Digital Soundtrack (as well as the English DTS soundtrack and the French Dolby Surround soundtrack) boasts excellent fidelity even though this talk-heavy film does not exactly require the most extensive use of the sound field. The only extra worthwhile extra is the music video for Damien Rice's ""The Blower's Daughter,"" a song that Nichols uses to great effect in Closer's opening and closing moments. This disc is fine, but it does leave room for a special edition sometime in the future."
