Une restauration exemplaire grâce à la Film Foundation de Martin Scorsese et un transfert comme toujours impeccable par Criterion pour ce chef-d’œuvre des “Archers” qui nous offre un spectacle fascinant, magnifiquement photographié en Technicolor. Le blu-ray est region A et propose des bonus supplémentaires par rapport à la déjà très belle édition de Carlotta, notamment un commentaire audio avec des interviews des interprètes Moira Shearer et Marius Goring, du directeur photo Jack Cardiff, du compositeur Brian Easdale, et de M. Scorsese. Et surtout un film d’animation réalisé à partir des peintures faites pour le storyboard par Hein Heckroth. Des galeries photos du film, des affiches... et des articles de la collection personnelle de M. Scorsese. Des lectures par Jeremy Irons du conte original par Andersen et de l’adaptation par Powell et Pressburger. Plus un livret magnifique. Bref, une merveilleuse édition!
