Author Topic: The Place Beyond the Pines Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 05-13-2013 08:21 PM                     Greetings: No one saw this film? Very long and very engaging. 3 parts woven together. The first part, with Ryan Gosling as the bike rider in a giant metal ball in a carnival side show is the best. He is a very interesting actor/charactor to study. Part two is with Brandley Cooper. He/his character is milk-toast compared to Ryan Gosling. This part of the films focuses on him as a cop. Part 3 takes place 15-16 years later and focuses on the sons of each of the forementioned gentlemen. A bit long at 150 minutes, but a very well made film.

At roughly 240 GByte for the 2K DCP, I expected the picture to be rather amazingly detailed. Mind you, this movie isn't in 3D, or HFR, it is rather long although. The opposite is actually true, the picture is dark and very grainy. I guess they did their best to keep the grain in the digital version as "authentic" as possible and grain doesn't compress very well. Regarding the movie itself: Go see it, it might not be the best movie you ever watched, but it is well worth the 150 minutes it takes. Like Mike Croaro already told you, it's a movie in three parts, each focusing on a specific time and perspective.  |  IP: Logged Tony Gallimore Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Willis, Virginia, USA Registered: Jul 2009 posted 06-18-2013 09:58 PM                     I caught this one during the week after national break here in the US. I can't add anything more than Mike, the three storylines were very engaging.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 06-29-2013 07:10 PM                     I guess because I did see this in 35mm, I actually wasn't bothered by the grain. I thought all round, the acting, the cinematography, the story, the soundmix were all implemented well to the overall effect of the movie.  |  IP: Logged
