Très belle remasterisation de ce film classique : l'image est excellente : luminosité, couleurs, contrastes. Que ce soit dans le fond ou dans la forme ce BR est un pur bonheur pour les amateurs du genre A se procurer d'urgence

"Buy thIs for the new documentary alone!" I suppose that my blurb is kinda old-school, and perhaps even contrived, but after watching the "Jaws @ 50" definitive documentary, created by Laurent Bouzereau, the undisputed king of feature-length movie 'making of' supplements that have graced so many physical media releases of classic and iconic films through the years, I think I just experienced one of his very best pieces, if not 'the' absolute best work of his career. Understand, that already owning and collecting numerous versions of this film on every type and size of disc imaginable in every conceivable resolution offering, I was hesitant to purchase this, but then I learned that the third disc would be a brand new documentary commemorating the 50th anniversary of the film, and being a collector in every sense of the word, it was a no-brainer; I was absolutely getting this, and when I saw Mr. Bouzereau's name super-imposed at the very beginning of this, I got very excited, and knew without a doubt, that I had made the right decision. However, I was not prepared for just 'how' good this would be! There are other documentaries about the making of "Jaws," and I really appreciate them all, but here's what was missing in them, that is a 'huge' part of "Jaws @50," and that is the brutal realities and hardships of making a film, by a young Director, within an industry that can be very unforgiving, and the emotionally draining experience that this was for Steven Spielberg, simply because the odds were so against him in actually completing this film, especially when a powerful studio appears to be just one more day away from shutting your movie down. Other writings and documentaries have alluded to this fact, but "Jaws @ 50" puts the viewer through the spirit-crushing reality of this seemingly inevitable conclusion for Spielberg, but then we get to feel the powerful triumph that he experienced, when the film became a phenomenon, simply because he put aside his fears of the looming end of his career, and stayed not just aboard what appeared to be a sinking ship, but commanded it as well, either to its doom, or in this case, sailed it right into movie history, as one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. What a vindication and finally, in this documentary we get to experience this, as if we have been right there with Spielberg all along! "Faith is believing when common-sense tells you not to" - "Miracle on 34th Street" - 1947 (May I add, the year of the 'Roswell' crash) What I really loved about "Jaws @ 50" was hearing the words, demonstrating without a doubt, the immense pride and mutual respect and admiration that so many associated with "Jaws" had and have for one another, and Spielberg says it best and in the most heart-felt way imaginable, as this documentary comes to a close, in so many words, that he sincerely hoped that everyone involved in the film, especially in it's 50th iconic year, can feel his deep respect for this movie, suggesting to me anyway, that it wasn't 'him' that made "Jaws" such a great movie, but 'all' of them, made it 'great' together. Those were not his exact words, but that's what I got from what he said, which I think is the very definition of humility. I can honestly say that I got choked up, as if I had just experienced "Schindler's List" all over again. That may be a weird analogy, but I'm just being real. Putting aside all of that, "Jaws @ 50" also contains countless statements from numerous a-list filmmakers and actors, and a "Jaws" aficionado's early-Christmas present of an extensive collection, scattered throughout, of never-before-seen pre-production, production, post-production and home-movie footage. People that appreciate the Shark itself are not left out either, as this film includes interviews and footage of the efforts of many to bring back the often-misunderstood Shark population. I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop and just say for the record: Do not hesitate for one second to purchase what is admittedly, basically the same fantastic special feature-loaded Blu-Ray / 4K package release from five years ago, but the third disc, which is this new documentary, makes it worth every cent to buy it all over again! The original gorgeous one-sheet artwork that graces the slip-cover and the actual keep-case, seals the deal! Bottom-line, I loved it!

A classic film and one of the best 4K transfers yet!

Me encantan las películas de tiburones. Este clásico es una joya del cine de terror.
