Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)Brotherhood of the Wolf Blu-ray offers solid video and reference-quality audio in this enjoyable Blu-ray releaseSet in 1765, during the reign of Louis XV, an epic adventure based in part on a well-knownFrench legend. In a rural province of France, a mysterious creature is leaving a trail ofmutilated corpses across the countryside, savagely killing scores of women and children.Unseen, possessed of enormous strength and a seemingly near-human intelligence, the beasthas eluded capture for years. Desperate to end the growing unrest of the populace, the Kingsends in a renowned scientist and his Haudenosaunee blood brother, an unconventional teamwhose combined methods and capabilities may finally bring the beast down.
But what thesemen find, when finally confronted with the true nature of the beast, is more shocking thananyone could have anticipatedFor more about Brotherhood of the Wolf and the Brotherhood of the Wolf Blu-ray release, see published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on August 30, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.0 out of 5.Director:Writers:,Starring:,Producers:,ยป. Presented in an aspect ratio or 2.33:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Christophe Gans' Brotherhood of the Wolf arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Optimum Home Entertainment.This high-definition transfer is not identical to the one Studio Canal used for their of Brotherhood of the Wolf in 2008 - which is surprising to say the least as the the French release was also English-friendly.
In addition to featuring a new MPEG-4 AVC encoded transfer (the French Blu-ray release features a VC-1 encoded transfer), the Blu-ray also contains the shorter Theatrical Version of the film, not the longer Director's Cut found on the French Blu-ray release. For the record, the difference between the two versions is substantial, as the former runs at approximately 139 minutes while the latter runs at approximately 151 minutes.The high-definition transfer Studio Canal used was struck from a dated source most likely prepared for their LE SDVD of the film, which was produced long before they started releasing on Blu-ray. Naturally, there were some inherited limitations, but heavy DNR corrections were not applied and overall I was quite happy with the various upgrades the Blu-ray release offered (especially in terms of detail and contrast balance as they were very problematic, for instance, on the R1 SDVD release which Canadian distributors TVA Films produced). In other words, in 2008 the French Blu-ray release was the best way to see Brotherhood of the Wolf.Unfortunately, in 2011 this is still the case. The new MPEG-4 AVC encoded high-definition transfer once again appears to have been struck from a dated source, but this time around there are also various grain and noise corrections that have been applied. As a result, during a number of scenes in addition to the grain and noise some fine detail has also been eliminated (you could compare screencaptures #17, 18, and 19 with the corresponding screencaptures in our review for the French Blu-ray release).
Interestingly enough, color reproduction is slightly better during the indoor footage. The browns, grays, and blacks, in particular are notably stronger (see screencapture #2). Elsewhere, there are traces of mild edge-enhancement, though they are never distracting, while artifacts and ringing are not easy to spot. Finally, there are no serious stability issues to report in this review. ( Note: This is a Region-B 'locked' Blu-ray release.
Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). There are four audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, French DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0, English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. For the record, Optimum Home Entertainment have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame.The French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is excellent.
As far as dynamic intensity is concerned, I believe that it is one of the very best done for a catalog title. A lot of the credit, however, should go to the sound mixers and designers who worked on Brotherhood of the Wolf as quite obviously some of the best scenes in the film impress primarily because of their contribution. The surround channels, in particular, are very effectively used. When the beast attacks, for instance, his breathing is quite overwhelming, while during the mass fights it literally feels as if one is right in the middle of the action. The dialog is consistently crisp, clean, stable, and very easy to follow.
The English translation is excellent.
