Kino-Lorber's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer of *Boccaccio '70* offers a respectable, hands-off presentation marked by occasional specks, mild color fluctuations, and visible grain, yet showcases improved clarity, rich colors, and balanced black levels—despite its non-restored nature and segment-to-segment inconsistency.

Audio: 48

The Italian DTS-HD MA 1.0 track is typical for 1960s Italian cinema: tinny and dynamically flat, yet balanced and clear. The swingy jazz/pop music and dialogue are comprehensible, with minimal hisses or pops. Optional English subtitles in readable white lettering are included.

Extra: 16

The Blu-ray extras for 'Boccaccio '70' feature high-definition stills galleries for each short, a posters gallery, and shots from the American premiere. The package also includes an array of high-definition trailers for the film and related Cinema Italiano releases, though the main theatrical trailer is in standard definition.

Movie: 81

Boccaccio '70' is a captivating anthology showcasing Italy's cinematic titans—Monicelli, Fellini, Visconti, and De Sica—who each dissect 1960s Italian sexual mores through a blend of humor, social critique, and poignant drama. The Blu-ray offers stellar visual and auditory presentations, reinforcing the film's timeless allure.
