Beautiful restoration work introduces My Young Auntie with excellent vibrancy. Depth in the black levels keep a steady pace, even if a little faded overall. Rich in contrast too, dimensionality thrives in these conditions. Color also looks rich, if like the black levels, a little faded from time. However, this is minor, keeping My Young Auntie bold enough to appear wholly natural.
Preserved grain creates challenges for Arrow's encoders, and it's generally a positive result. Artifacting does happen, especially in smoky scenarios or when the cinematography takes on a hazy aesthetic. Mostly though, compression stays in control.
Thanks to the latter, My Young Auntie can showcase detail and definition from a stellar scan. Clearly done recently at high resolution, sharpness holds firm and the texture can show through.
Audio
Mandarin, Cantonese, and the English dub appear in DTS-HD mono. Performing better than most in this box set, dialog holds a clarity unusual for these films. Music still strains in terms of treble, but a little range squeezes through the music in places; that's appreciated.
