Customer Reviews of The Harder They Come (includes Soundtrack CD)
sense of the place where we live ! This movie is the best reggae movie ever made !!! <
>I have seen it since i am kid, and now i owe the DVD !!! <
>This great sensational movie needs to be shared!!!!
Not anamorphic! Save your money!
I was extremely disappointed, on buying this DVD, to discover that the new, restored version is not an anamorphic transfer. It blows my mind that in this day and age, a historic film like this would be restored, remastered and released without using the best possible format.

>More's the pity, as it appears that the actual transfer is an improvement over the earlier Criterion version. Nonetheless, this is an expensive "Deluxe" release, and those with widescreen TVs will undoubtedly want to wait until there is an anamorphic version (I should note that if you watch this on a widescreen TV, and zoom in so the picture fills the screen, you will not be able to read all the subtitles!). Those without fancy home-theater equipment are probably better off looking for a used copy of one of the previous releases.

>It's truly sad that so much work was apparently put into the restoration of the actual film, and then a second-rate DVD was produced from it. I honestly can't recommend this DVD for anyone, especially given the list price, and would recommend that people wait for (and demand) a definitive anamorphic release of this all-time classic.
Jamaica
This is a good movie (7/10) included in the 1000 Best Movies on DVD by Peter Travers. It is an old movie, from 1973, shot in Jamaica with a very low budget, so what you see is "the raw real thing" (New Statesman). Jimmy Cliff gives an amazing performance of the song "The Harder They Come", and just for that the movie is worth watching. Then there is a story of drug dealers, this and that, but what I liked about the movie is the Jamaican flavor. The scenes at the church and the ones at the studio are, bu far, the best of the movie. There is also a dialogue between Jimmy Cliff and his girlfriend about being a dreamer that can't be missed! This 30th Anniversary Edition comes with a great documentary "Hard Road to Travel" where we are told about how hard this movie was to do, post production stories, etc. There is also a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio channel (and the mono original one, for the purists), and an interview with Perry Henzell, the pioneer of Jamaican cinema. There alse also very interesting trailers of other Xenon movies.

>If you like Reggae music, this is a must. Also recommended for any popular music fan, and to any independent cinema fan. You should get the Soundtrack as well, but if you do, go for the DeLuxe (2 CD's) edition! Again, 4 stars, 7/10.
