Scent of a Woman(1992)Retired Army Lt. Col. Frank Slade is blind, cantankerous, and impossible to get along with. Charlie, a poor prep-school student hoping to earn some extra cash agrees to look after Frank over the Thanksgiving holiday. Though the two are mismatched, their relationship grows into a close friendship during a string of wild escapades on an unforgettable trip to the Big Apple… Hoo-ah! For more about Scent of a Woman and the Scent of a Woman Blu-ray release, see Scent of a Woman Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on June 4, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Martin Brest Writers: Bo Goldman, Giovanni Arpino Starring: Al Pacino, Chris O'Donnell, James Rebhorn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gabrielle Anwar, Bradley Whitford Producers: Martin Brest, Ronald L. Schwary, G. Mac Brown » See full cast & crew Scent of a Woman Blu-ray, Video QualityScent of a Woman is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Universal Studios with a VC-1 encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1. As with the simultaneously released Pacino film Sea of Love, my hunch is this is simply a port over of Scent of a Woman's previous HD-DVD transfer, but unlike that earlier film, the results here are, if not totally spectacular, a good deal better than they were with Sea of Love. The image here is quite nicely crisp and colors are especially impressive, with deep, natural looking flesh tones and some excellent depth of field in the many outdoor location shots. Fine object detail is very pleasing, especially in close-ups. Contrast is excellent and black levels, if not as deep as might be desired, are consistent. There are persistent aliasing and moiré issues on the Blair School tweed jackets, as well as the suit that Pacino's Frank character has made for him partway through the film, but otherwise artifacting is at a minimum. Scent of a Woman Blu-ray, Audio QualityScent of a Woman features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that may not have a lot of "wow" factor, but which offers substantial, albeit at times quite subtle, surround activity, as well as excellent fidelity and dynamic range. Dialogue is cleanly and clearly presented, but perhaps the best element of this new lossless audio mix is the wonderful rendering of Thomas Newman's really interesting score. Newman, one of the (Alfred) Newman composing dynasty, fills his music with some really unusual colors, including the completely unexpected use of a hammered dulcimer (!) to underscore the Blair sequences. The music spills through the surrounds with really appealing spaciousness and adds immeasurably to the sonic impact of the film. Otherwise, this tends to be a quieter, dialogue driven piece, although in sequences like the Ferrari driving segment we get some low end oomph and very distinct panning effects that substantially open up the sound field.
