This DVD is so technically poor it's unwatchable - Ju Dou review by BS
The original film was a visual masterpiece using a theme of swathes of silk fabric with beautiful colours. This DVD version is terrible, it looks as though someone copied it on a mobile phone from a cinema screen the colours are so yellow and washed out its unwatchable.
