You have probably heard the statement 'You can't help who you fall in love with'. Sometimes you just can't help it! Even Elvis sang about this with his classic song 'Can't help falling in love with you'. You probably heard 'girls love the bad boys'. A lot of times this is true. There have been many romantic films about those kinds of love stories.
In 1983 Academy Award nominated screenwriter Passion Fish (1992) and Lone Star (1996) and director John Sayles Romantic comedy-drama Baby, It's You. Fun City Editions have been releasing some great Blu-rays like, Party Girl, Falling in Love, and Breaking Glass. But now it is time for this Romcom to get its time for shine on Blu-ray!
Synopsis: Jill (Rosanna Arquette) is headed for college. Sheik's a drop-out, headed for nowhere. They're as different as day and night, but share a powerful bond: first love. 'There's the first one. There's the right one. And there's the one you never forget.' Jill's a drama major, headed for college. Sheik's a drop-out, headed for nowhere. They're as different as day and night, but they share a powerful bond: first love.
Baby It's you is shot with such realism you would think it's a documentary more than a feature film. There are such great performances by the cast Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan), Vincent Spano (Over the Edge), Tracy Pollan (Bright Lights, Big City), Matthew Modine (Birdy) and Robert Downey Jr. (Zodiac).
Then there is the music which is such a tremendous edition to this film. I grew up on classic music of the 50s and 60s so the soundtrack is amazing featuring music by, The Supremes, Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs, The Righteous Brothers, Bruce Springsteen and Ile' Blue Eyes himself Frank Sinatra.
Fun City Editions have transferred Baby It's You to Blu-ray in 1080p and is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is an English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. There is also the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. Now this is not just any transfer, this transfer is derived from a 4K scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative.
This 4K scan brings real detail to this film. The picture is sharp and the colors pop with natural skin. The audio is clean with clear dialogue and music. There is no digital artifacts or audio anomalies. 'Baby, It's You' looks gorgeous Blu-ray. But this wonderful picture us not all that is included. Fun City Editions added some really cool bonus features.
Bonus Materials
* Audio commentary by Bill Ackerman
* Image gallery
* New video interviews with director John Sayles, producers Amy Robinson and Griffin Dunne, actors Rosanna Arquette, Vincent Spano and Matthew Modine
* Double-sided wrap with legacy artwork
* Booklet with new essays by Gavin Smith and Caroline Madden (first pressing only)
'Baby It's You' has seen a Blu-ray release a few years ago from Olive Films (which is no longer in business). But that Blu-ray had no bonus features and didn't have the gorgeous transfer Fun City Editions can boast of. Plus, with the addition of an audio commentary, new interviews, great artwork and a collectable booklet. This Blu-ray release is really worth the upgrade.
So, if you love coming of age romcoms, the Fun City Editions Blu-ray release of 'Baby, It's You' is a must add for your home video library. Head over to MVD Shop or Amazon and order your copy today.
