The Seventh Seal (1957) UPDATED

Post by Brent_Reid »

A footnote for Criterion's original BD:
A commonly reported problem has arisen with some copies: the film freezes 83 minutes in and locks up completely, though it can still be ejected. There is no fix and as the fault didn't develop until years later, no corrected discs were issued. The only way to tell if your copy is affected is to play it. Criterion will send free replacements on request (mulvaney@criterion.com) but all stocks of the original disc are gone and they only have copies of their restored reissue (which actually has an inferior transfer... :()

Add a note to the reissue listing: 4K restoration - and it's 1.37:1, not 1.33:1.

Updated, although the "inferior transfer" is subjective and wasn't added. My copy seems fine.

Cheers, and I didn't mean for you to add my subjective (but accurate!) comment - hence it being in parentheses. :)

Glad your copy's ok.
