The Robe 1953 1080p Bluray X264
this really is a new experience for me. i usually stick to more recent releases but this was appealing for a variety of reasons. i'm used to a more studio driven approach in my films, something i'm more familiar with in the theatre. the "look" of "the robe" is vintage. the low budget certainly shows through. the characters are somewhat caricatures but they are likable, and the plot has a lot of intrigue. the themes of the film are not new but they are very human. it's a simple story with big ideas. i'm not sure that "the robe" is the best film i've ever seen but it is very near the top.
