Some good points there, keirarts (enjoyed your letter in the Dark Side BTW). However, I would still argue that just about every film, no matter how poor the source, has to be compressed to fit onto DVD. BD has bigger storage so, in theory, even films from a poor source should look better than they do on DVD due to less compression being employed. Even SD material on a BD should look better than on DVD.
I quite liked the look of
Maniac on BD. It's a dirty, grubby little film shot on the cheap, and it looks exactly like that. I think the BD has a more filmic quality to it than previous DVD incarnations. But that's just me, I'm happy with it, but then again I'm easily pleased.
