NOTE: Hugely underrated film! Psychological and atmospheric. Depp is absolutely
      excellent. Langella and Olin as well. Imho one of Polanski's top films.

      The transfer is a mixed bag. Many wide shots does not look hot, while close
      ups looks good. Has a somewhat foggy and soft look, I've read somewhere that
      it's a esthetic choice of the director. The sound is very good, although 7.1
      with this films audio design, feels a little like overkill.
