Rebecca (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Romance becomes psychodrama in the elegantly crafted Rebecca, Alfred Hitchcock’s first foray into Hollywood filmmaking. A dreamlike adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 novel, the film stars the enchanting Joan Fontaine as a young woman who believes she has found her heart’s desire when she marries the dashing aristocratic widower Maxim de Winter (played with cunning vulnerability by Laurence Olivier). But upon moving to Manderley-her groom’s baroque ancestral mansion-she soon learns that his deceased wife haunts not only the estate but the temperamental, brooding Maxim as well. The start of Hitchcock’s legendary collaboration with producer David O. Selznick, this elegiac gothic vision, captured in stunning black and white by George Barnes.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2017 CRITERION BLU-RAY VERSUS 2011 MGM BLU-RAY + Hitchcock filmography
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019
PHOTO 1 = MGM Blu-Ray issued in 2011: [[ASIN:B0065N6JSI Rebecca [Blu-ray]]]
PHOTO 2 = Hitchcock's cameo @ 2:06:57 (MGM) or 2:07:01 (Criterion) - Hitchcock walking in the background.
PHOTO 3 = NOT Hitchcock's cameo - this is a still photo taken on the set.

The new 2017 Criterion Collection blu-ray of ‘Rebecca’ comes into direct competition with the 2011 MGM blu-ray
The Criterion blu-ray has the magical words “4K digital restoration”, giving it a theoretical advantage over MGM’s ten-year-old 2-K (?) digital restoration,
but the actual improvement is not dramatic, at least on my 40 inch, five year-old JVC TV.
Both blu-rays look quite good.
Of course, if you own a state-of-the-art 70 inch 4-K television (or plan to), the choice is obvious.
Making the choice easier, the price of the old MGM blu-ray is twice that of the new Criterion blu-ray (apparently the MGM is out-of-print).

COMMON TO CRITERION AND MGM BLU-RAYs
-- The Making of Rebecca: (28 minutes)
-- Isolated music and effects track.

Me entristece que llegó un poco maltratado el producto. El embalaje no fue el mejor... Ojala tengan más suerte otros. La película es muy buena; personalmente es de mis favoritas de Hitchcock.
Los extras no están subtitulados, la película sólo trae sub. en inglés...
