Story Synopsis:
A poignant, turbulent, New York slice-of-life drama, Five Corners features Jodie Foster and Tim Robbins as Linda and Harry, who are brought together when, Heinz (John Turturro), a menacing ex-con returns to the neighborhood intent on changing both of their lives forever. With beguiling supporting performances by Todd Graff, Elizabeth Berridge and Rose Gregorio, Five Corners is an intriguing gem with hidden complexities that certainly proves a welcome addition to the Criterion Collection.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is extremely washed out and overly bright in some scenes. Darker scenes appear plugged up with poor shadow detail. Despite these characteristics, colors are generally natural with accurate fleshtones and deep, undefined blacks. Images are wanting in sharpness and detail with slight noise and artifacts apparent throughout. There are lots of inconsistencies on this 1.80:1 transfer.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished mono with “manufactured” ADR-dialogue
