True Romance
4K Ultra HD
Blu Ray
Must-have 4K UHD Blu-ray with immersive rear channels & complementary sounds that enhance envelopment. A long-awaited treat for True Romance fans.
It's not perfect, but it's an impressive presentation that will satisfy any fan. 1080 disc not included, but alternate packaging options offer both 1080 and 2160 discs. Both the theatrical and director's cut look fantastic on the identical transfer.
The audio presentation is satisfactory with ambient extension and discretely placed sounds that enhance envelopment. Despite improvements, the audio on a previous release was still unimpressive. Arrow offers the film's original audio tracks in two options.
An extravagant, all-inclusive box set of True Romance, featuring both Theatrical and Director's Cut in 4K, along with hours of bonus material and commentaries by Tony Scott, Quentin Tarantino, Christian Slater, and Patricia Arquette.
Choice dialogue elevates the myriad familiar faces in an outstanding script. A newlywed couple plans to sell stolen drugs for a new life, unaware of what awaits them. Receiving Blu-rays from UK before US release due to licensing vagaries. Enjoying Quentin's amazing stories and pop culture dialog on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
