The audio on the original Bluray was very quiet, I used the filter LOUDNORM on box4 to make it better, now voices are a lot more present and overall the sound is a lot better and not so quiet anymore. I included in the mkv rip both the original, untouched FLAC audio and the boosted aac audio as a secondary track, make sure to select it via vlc or with your video player of choice, the smaller mp4 file and the streaming copy only have the boosted aac audio.
((Upgraded with soft subbed 1080p copy on March 4, 2024.))
Wholly underrated film! Probably because it wasn’t the usual fair for Ferrara and people were put off by his name? Who knows?
Still, I love it’s completely different angle of approach to the subject.
Bonus, for me at least, was sitting behind Iggy Pop at the Anjelica in NYC when I first saw it!

Trimmed 1.5 minutes of color bars before the movie started, and trimmed 9 minutes of black after the credits. [/*]
No interlacing present on the source, despite what MediaInfo says. [/*]
Audio was trimmed losslessly, and re-synced to the video. [/*]
Subtitles were taken from DVD encodes and retimed by 0.5 sec to match the audio and video. [/*]
Tested CRF, QComp, AQ Mode, AQ Strength, PsyRD, and CRF once more.[/*]
Source BluRay has hardcoded French subtitles in the two non-English scenes, so I added English SSA subs with a black border to cover the French subs in those areas.[/*]
