Malcolm X 1080P
Criterion bests the decade-old Blu-ray releases of this film by offering a new 1.85:1/1080p/AVC-encoded image that is the product of a 4K restoration supervised by cinematographer Ernest Dickerson. This is a wonderfully filmic presentation that offers abundant detail and texture. The costumes and sets are luminous in close-up shots, which also reveal intimate facial details. Grain is natural throughout, and the film looks great in motion. Wider, outdoor shots are impressively deep and detailed, and several of Malcom's speeches are positively cinematic in this presentation. Colors are nicely saturated, and the disc handles black levels, highlights and shadow detail well. I noticed some minor aliasing in one scene and brief grain spikes in a few darker shots, but this is overall a wonderful presentation.
