Canoa: A Shameful Memory(1976)A group of urban university employees on a hiking trip are viciously attacked by residents of the village of San Miguel Canoa who had been manipulated by a corrupt priest into believing the travelers were communist revolutionaries. The film is based on a reportedly real incident which took place in 1968. For more about Canoa: A Shameful Memory and the Canoa: A Shameful Memory Blu-ray release, see Canoa: A Shameful Memory Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on March 26, 2017 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Felipe Cazals Writer: Tomás Pérez Turrent Starring: Enrique Lucero, Ernesto Gómez Cruz, Rodrigo Puebla, Salvador Sánchez, Manuel Ojeda, Roberto Sosa Narrator: Juan López Moctezuma » See full cast & crew Canoa: A Shameful Memory Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Felipe Cazals' Canoa: A Shameful Memory arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears inside the leaflet provided with this Blu-ray release: "Supervised by director Felipe Cazals, this new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution on an Oxberry wet-gate film scanner from the 35mm original camera negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, and warps were manually removed using MTI Film's DRS, while Digital Vision's Phoenix was used for jitter, flicker, small grain and noise management. The 35mm original soundtrack negative was transferred using the Chase Optical Sound Processor. the monaural soundtrack was then remastered; clicks, thumps, hiss, hum, and cracks were manually removed using Pro Tools HD and iZotope RX. Transfer supervisors: Lee Kline, Felipe Cazals. Colorist: Roman Hankewycz/Harbor Picture Company, New York. Scanning: Cineric, New York. Audio Transfer: Audio Services, Burbank, CA." While I have not previously seen Canoa: A Shameful Memory on DVD, there is no doubt in my mind that the new 4K restoration represents a tremendous upgrade in quality, and that the Blu-ray release will remain the film's definitive presentation on the market. The film looks quite remarkable in high-definition -- it is very healthy, vibrant, and boasting the type of density and fluidity that only excellent recent 4K masters are capable of producing. This type of consistently in all major areas we address in our reviews is somewhat surprising because the film's stylistic appearance is actually defined by the notably liberal use of unfiltered light and natural light/shadow nuances that could be quite difficult to reproduce. Colors are also very healthy and superbly balanced. There are no traces of problematic degraining or sharpening adjustments, though there are a few areas where grain can appear slightly over/underexposed depending on how light is captured by the camera. Lastly, there are no stability issues, or other purely age-related imperfections to report in our review. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content). Canoa: A Shameful Memory Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: Spanish LPCM 1.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature. The film does not have a prominent music score and relies almost entirely on organic sounds and noises to build and sustain a specific atmosphere. Rather predictably, dynamic intensity is quite modest. (There are a few segments where radio music can be heard). Balance is excellent, though occasionally some very minor fluctuations that are part of the film's original sound design can be identified.
