The primaries appear lush and very healthy, but the notable improvements are in the expanded supporting nuances. What started out as a failed TV pilot has become a beloved noir, gaining in reputation year after year being both inscrutable and accessible in equal measures. The result is something quite unsettling, there are low elements, almost out of hearing range, that you can feel. But the interpretation of the various elements and their meaning within the larger picture remains enigmatic and thus is largely left to the individual.

I think that this superior color balance positively impacts the perception of depth as well, especially during indoor and nighttime footage. A bright-eyed young actress travels to Hollywood, only to be ensnared in a dark conspiracy involving a woman who was nearly murdered, and now has amnesia because of a car crash.Another small but notable improvement can be recognized in the manner in which the 4K presentation handles highlights. Blonde Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when she meets an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring). Skin tones are perfectly natural, even in the dream state, and watch how the picture grade fades as the film progresses from bright to dark but retaining depth and focus – stunning. Next year will be incredible, folks, because I think that we will see some absolutely spectacular and of course definitive 4K Blu-ray releases of timeless classic films.

This slick, sinister, psycho-sexual thriller comes from the darkest recesses of Hollywood, a Los Angeles of strange dreams, unrequited love and a jealous burning rage. Use the thumbs up and thumbs down icons to agree or disagree that the title is similar to Mulholland Drive. Betty (Naomi Watts, 21 Grams, King Kong), a beautiful blonde from Ontario, arrives in Hollywood to try her luck in the movies.

Indeed everything is absolutely gorgeous: the décor of Betty’s apartment, the grime in the diner, the leaves against the sky, overlooking Hollywood – everything is keen, clear and precise – even the intentional lens flares or softness! David Lynch’s seductive and scary vision of Los Angeles’s dream factory is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium, a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.
