The first three were released on March 25th; the HD version is due out on April 15th. Warner Brothers has announced that it won’t aid HD after May 31, 2008, so there may be a tiny window to come by the HD version.
The unique transfers have been made from the “modern elements,” meaning stuff like fresh negatives or recent prints. (View below for an update on the video and audio quality.) The special features announced, included in all the recent releases, are these:
– the full-length History Channel documentary about the precise Bonnie and Clyde called “Fancy and Death: The Fable of Bonnie and Clyde” (43:10)
– a modern three-part documentary about the making and releasing of the film and its relation to the precise Bonnie and Clyde:
. . . “Bonnie and Clyde’s Gang” (22:35)
. . . “The Reality and Narrative of Bonnie and Clyde” (24:07)
. . . “Releasing Bonnie and Clyde” (18:06)
– two newly discovered deleted scenes (5:23)
– two trailers (4:11)
– Warren Beatty’s wardrobe tests (7:39)
The HD and Blu-ray editions will also include as a “high-def curious” a hardcover book (34 pages according to Amazon, 32 pages according to dvdbeaver) with a detailed production history, star/director filmographies and rare archival behind-the-scenes photos. The book is an integral portion of the case. This isn’t included in the standard DVD Special Edition.
The Ultimate edition will also include some non-DVD extras. Details are given in the earlier reviews of the Ultimate edition (January 17, 2008) .
No commentary was announced, so I subtract one star. For some the making-of features may partially produce up for the lack of commentary.
As for the movie itself, it’s a landmark, but there are already many safe reviews here about that ….
Update on the video and audio quality of the unusual releases (March 27th)
I haven’t got my copy yet, but I’ve checked out some early professional reviews. All the ones I’ve seen that compare to the older DVD agree that the video quality of the current releases is great improved. I’ll give some details from a sampling of reviews here for anyone keen, but the upshot is that everyone is delighted with both fresh transfers (HD not being out yet) .
Standard DVD
DVD Beaver, which specializes in DVD image evaluations and comparisons, says the standard DVD 2-disc Special Edition video is “very strong,” tidy, with minimal noise. They represent improved detail, inequity and color from the older DVD. Skin tones are said to be a bit on the red side (which is what most people seize to upright color) . The image is said to have a glossy gaze at times, perhaps the same ogle described at DVD Town as “a tiny glassy.”
The sound is the unique mono, described by DVD Beaver as “determined and consistent.” No one raves about the sound, but everyone finds it profitable overall, for mono.
The review at DVD Town finds the fresh transfer “good for a movie some forty years musty.” It mentions noticeable grain in some shots, but this may refer to scenes in which there was intentional grain introduced for finish. Also mentioned are occasional softness, skin tones a touch black, but overall color “quite realistic.” Says the definition is fine for standard DVD, disagreement strong.
DVD Verdict says, “The remastered print looks very estimable, with strong colors and high inequity, and salubrious detail …,” with a small grain at times.
Blu-ray
DVD Beaver says the Blu-ray version is, as would be expected, even better. The darks are darker than on the unique standard DVD, the brights brighter, very strong detail, with a touch redder skin tones, very minor noise. The image is said to maintain a natural view.
The sound is described with very same adjectives as for the standard DVD: determined and consistent.
Home Theater Forum’s reviewer calls the Blu-ray transfer’s color fidelity “outstanding” and overall quality “gracious,” including sharpness and detail. Blacks are said to be very shadowy, though less so in the later fraction of the movie.
A review at High-Def Digest praises the Blu-ray image quality very highly, particularly the color, which it describes as vibrant, mild and natural.
(I’ve posted the links to the reviews cited in the first comment for this review.)
This movie ignited critics and the public alike when it was first released in theatres. Considerable discussion centered around the movie’s graphic violence (which was considered terrifying by 1967 standards — two years later “The Wild Bunch” would raise the ante even higher) ; there was also great hullaballoo over the film’s glamorization of its lawless true-life anti-heroes (which was in fact an primitive Hollywood tradition best exemplified by a handful of behind 1930’s and early 1940’s biographical Westerns including “Jesse James”, “Belle Starr”, “Billy the Kid”, etc. in which handsome actors portrayed the murderous title characters as Technicolored lads and ladies) .

35 years later the fires of debate have burned out, and what remains considerable about “Bonnie and Clyde” is neither its cutting-edge violence nor its historical inaccuracies, but instead the comely craftsmanship that went into its creation. The performances are uniformly outstanding; the cinematography is evocative of a time and space that can mild be glimpsed in parts of the Ozarks, Oklahoma, and North Texas; the editing is well-kept and well-paced; the direction is innovative and assured, even poetic in some sequences (the initial acquaintance of Barrow and Parker, the reunion of Bonnie’s family, the final ambush scene) . This film is the telling of epic, not the anecdote of biographical scholarship, and it unfolds its myth masterfully.
The DVD showcases the film beautifully. The edition I purchased offers both the widescreen and reformatted versions; an earlier exclaim of this title on DVD offered only the widescreen release (which I personally lift and recommend, but you may not agree) . This is a classic pleasurable of multiple viewings, and a DVD I endorse without reservation.
