About this deal

The end results end up being a vast improvement over Warner’s previous releases with the wider dynamic range sealing the deal. It looks great. Villarreal, Phil. "Review: True Romance". Arizona Daily Star. Archived from the original on December 22, 2008.

The DVD was released on September 24, 2002, as a Two-Disc set. [36] It was later released on Blu-ray on May 26, 2009. [37] Again, these releases only contain the director's cut, the theatrical cut remained excluded. Amid the Chaos of the Day (HD; 11:59) is an interview with composers Mark Mancina and John Van Tongeren. Both the Theatrical Edition and Director’s Cut arrive on the same disc via seamless branching with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio in 2160p with Dolby Vision HDR (HDR10 is of course included). With any Tony Scott movie you have to take the man’s kinetic gritty filmmaking style with the substance. The man loved his film grain and he loved his smokey interiors resulting in a movie that’s probably best described as “beautifully ugly” but true to the film. Over the years I’ve gotten to see film prints screened several times and this is the best I’ve seen this film look. Breathtaking action set pieces and unforgettably snappy dialogue combine with a murderers’ row of sensational performances from a stunning ensemble cast in Scott and Tarantino’s blood-soaked, bullet-riddled valentine, finally restored in dazzling 4K with hours of brilliant bonus features. Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote, " True Romance, a vibrant, grisly, gleefully amoral road movie directed by Tony Scott and dominated by the machismo of Quentin Tarantino (who wrote this screenplay before he directed Reservoir Dogs), is sure to offend a good-sized segment of the moviegoing population". [24] Box office performance [ edit ]

True Romance 4K Audio

I was impressed with the older supplements when they originally appeared on Warner’s two-disc special edition and I’m still pleased with them here. Arrow then adds some excellent new material (the Pinchot audio interview being the stand-out) that rounds out what is the best collection of material yet for the film. Closing Accompanying that is the film’s alternate ending, which is brought up many times in the commentaries. It’s also presented here with separate optional commentaries featuring Scott and Tarantino. Tarantino’s script had a different outcome for the film’s two central characters and Tarantino was dead-set on that being the ending. Scott, on the other hand, didn’t feel it was right. It ended up becoming a point of contention between the two and Scott decided to shoot both endings and decide from there. In the optional commentary Tarantino agrees that for this film Scott’s ending does work better. And I must agree with that sentiment after seeing Tarantino’s ending. I see where Tarantino was originally coming from but as pointed out throughout the features Scott’s take on the script places the story in a fantasy movie world and Tarantino’s harsher ending ends up feeling out of place. If he had directed it, as he mentions, it probably would have fit. For all of the idiosyncratic dialogue, quirky characters, and over-the-top violence, True Romance is indeed just that: a romance. The relationship between Clarence and Alabama is the engine that holds everything else together, and the chemistry between Slater and Arquette provides the fuel. Clarence is clearly a stand-in for Tarantino in terms of autobiographical details, but also as a form of wish fulfillment. He’s a pop culture nerd like Tarantino, but he’s better looking, tougher, and a far cooler customer. Alabama is wish fulfillment as well; she’s a male fantasy made flesh, conveniently dropped into the lap of Tarantino’s doppelganger. The two characters don’t feel authentic, yet fifteen minutes after their awkward meet-cute and the revelations that follow, their implausible relationship seems utterly believable. True Romance may be a fairy tale, but the love at its core feels real. Had Tarantino personally directed the film, it may not have worked as well as it does, and it certainly would have ended differently. Thankfully, Scott embraced the fantasy and fell in love with the characters, enough so that he changed Tarantino’s ending. He made the right call, and it’s one reason why the film endures.
