Chop Shop(2007)Alejandro, a resourceful street orphan on the verge of adolescence, lives and works in an auto-body repair shop in a sprawling junkyard on the outskirts of Queens, New York. In this chaotic world of adults, Alejandro struggles to make a better life for himself and his sixteen-year-old sister. For more about Chop Shop and the Chop Shop Blu-ray release, see Chop Shop Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on March 8, 2021 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Ramin Bahrani Writers: Ramin Bahrani, Bahareh Azimi Producers: Jeb Brody, Lisa Muskat, Peter Saraf, Marc Turtletaub » See full cast & crew Chop Shop Blu-ray, Video QualityChop Shop is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of The Criterion Collection with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. Criterion only sent a check disc for purposes of this review, and so I'm not privy to any verbiage about the transfer that might be included in the insert booklet, but as was the case with Man Push Cart, Criterion's website mentions that this is a "High-definition digital master, supervised and approved by director Ramin Bahrani, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray. While you may still be able to see a smattering of noise in darker sections of the frame (including in some of the screenshots accompanying this review), to my eyes this is a much more pleasing overall presentation than the somewhat fuzzy looking Man Push Cart. Clarity is typically excellent, especially in the many outdoor scenes, and the palette looks natural throughout, though the film's generally drab environments may mean that traditional "pop" may come as much from a brightly colored car chassis as from anything else. Fine detail is also generally very good in close-ups. The almost verité aspect of some of the film can lead to some understandably slight fluctuations in detail levels. Chop Shop Blu-ray, Audio QualityChop Shop features a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that nicely supports a glut of ambient environmental sounds in the frequent outdoor scenes. The clamor of Willets Point is nicely detailed in several sequences, but even "quieter" moments capture the echo laden environment of the interior of the shop where Ale and Izzy hole up. There are some very minor amplitude ebbs in what I'm assuming were live, "on the fly" takes out in the urban environments the film uses as locations, but dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly. The film has some source cues, but as is mentioned in the supplements, doesn't really have a traditional "score". Optional English subtitles are available.
