Regarding MOTHER ...didn't realize it was actually shot in 16mm [with special effects sequences filmed in 35mm]. My quandry: purchase it in regular BD~V or splurge for the UPSCALED UHD4K?

The Wrestler and Black Swan were also shot on 16mm, the latter being Super 16 I think. It’s kind of a love it or hate it look, but it translates to Blu-ray quite well. I have the blu-ray of mother! which looks great, and the only real advantage I see would be HDR, as Timothy pointed out. Get whichever one you can find cheaper, they both have the same great Atmos track.

JUST received this EXTRAORDINARY box set from AmazonUS in MINT CONDITION [NO loose discs as reported in the AmazonUS 'reviews'] and all I can say, If you are a Federico Fellini Fan, until they are released in Native UHD4K, I would say GO FOR IT at this amazing discounted price while you can. 11 of the Criterion Fellini discs are from 4K remasters [albeit in 1080p].

A VERY satisfied customer, INDEED! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!!!!! At $7.50 per disc, IMO, a NO BRAINER [15 discs are included]!

Oddly, I've never seen this movie. Any chance the music will be in Atmos? Or, how is the music presented within the movie...just background bits and pieces?

Yep says Atmos and new 2022 5.1 - not full songs for sure maybe a couple, but pretty long pieces and not purely background.....the songs come out front when playing - it is a cartoon, some might call it early anime - sci fi fantasy......like 10 different stories tied together a lil bit. I had friends who hated it.......

The soundtrack is Awesome though......

this is one of the stories.....the animation in each story is different made by different animation studios

 

[Marplot]

There are a number of scenes where the music takes a front seat. I am a huge fan of the soundtrack and variety of styles on it.

 

[cdheer]

Good movie, great soundtrack. (Ironically, it has very little heavy metal...) I'm sorely tempted.

Underworld Series 4k, Daimejin, Years Of Lead, 300 (4k), Gladiator (4k) and a few Disney 4k to upgrade my DVDs.

I also saw this movie in the theater when it was first released. Cool movie (albeit silly) and great soundtrack. As Snood mentioned there are long scenes where music pretty much is the audio. There are also some really cool songs on that soundtrack. A lot of top names.


One of my favorite clips from the movie
