Blue Sunshine’s 4K UHD Blu-ray, sourced from an all-new 4K restoration of the original 35mm negative and presented in Dolby Vision, delivers rich primaries, deep blacks, refined grain, and exceptional detail, honoring the film’s gritty ’70s aesthetic with a natural, film-like image.

Audio: 90

Blue Sunshine features both 2.0 DTS-HD MA mono and 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround tracks, each offering crisp, clear dialogue and a dynamic, well-restored audio presentation; the surround mix subtly expands the score while honoring the original’s fidelity.

Extra: 96

Comprehensively curated, the 4K UHD set excels with two Lieberman commentaries, multiple in-depth interviews, rare shorts—like 1972’s ‘The Ringer’ in both uncut and final forms—LSD-era films, trailers, a poster, soundtrack CD, and a booklet excerpt from Lieberman’s memoir.

Movie: 66

Blue Sunshine stands out as Lieberman’s most accomplished film, blending a chillingly plausible LSD-fueled conspiracy with psychological horror, unsettling atmosphere, and sharp social commentary, though its dated production and restrained psychedelics may temper expectations.
