...Volevo aspettare ancora un pò , ma dato che è più di un anno che attendevo e pregavo spasmodicamente per questo momento (dall'uscita dell'edizione Criterion) , credo che oramai sia inutile aspettare di più .
...Allora, quì c'è davvero moltissimo da dire , e parecchi sono gli argomenti da affrontare, dal tecnico all'artistico, e dato che io ancora non mi riprendo dallo "shock" , per adesso mi limiterò a postare i vari dettagli tecnici, le varie comparative ed alcune foto di packaging etc, poi non appena avrò ricevuto la mia copia (a brevissimo) ri/visionato l'Opera e raccolto tutti i pensieri, arriverà la review completa .

"This new HD master was provided by The Criterion Collection and delivered by MGM via Hollywood Classics. The transfer was created in 4K resolution on a Northlight film scanner from the 35mm original camera negative. Director Michael Mann's original 35mm answer print was used as a color reference, and Mann supervised and approved the entire transfer. The added Willie Dixon fisherman scene was sourced from a 35mm interpositive made from a print. All picture restoration work was completed by The Criterion Collection.
The original stereo soundtrack was remastered to 5.1 surround at 24-bit from 35mm 4-track magnetic audio stems, and approved by Mann.
Transfer supervisors: Lee Kline/Criterion. Michael Mann.
Colorist: Gregg Garvin/Modern Videofilm, Burbank."

...io per adesso non dico nulla, ma penso proprio che ci sarà soltanto da piangere ed urlare dalla gioia...
...P.S...:
...Giusto per ricordare che, la Theatrical cut è un'esclusiva dell'edizione Arrow (da me preordinata ed in arrivo fra pochi giorni) limitata in 3000 copie .
...A dopo.
