KL Studio Classics | 83 min | R | Release Date: 2025
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Anthology
The Blu-ray presents a clean transfer sourced from a new HD master. Colors in Brooklyn street life — storefronts, skies, and interiors — look natural and balanced. Contrast is strong with no major crushing in dark interiors or night scenes. Grain is preserved and film-like, avoiding digital smoothing. While not flashy, the presentation respects the independent film aesthetic.
The DTS-HD 2.0 stereo track is faithful to the film’s original mix. Dialogue is clear and intelligible, with ambient street sounds and music balanced naturally. While it doesn’t offer surround immersion, it captures the intimate, conversational style of the movie effectively.
Kino Lorber’s Blu-ray of Blue in the Face gives this quirky companion piece to Smoke a respectful and much-needed HD release. The picture and sound quality are faithful, and the supplements add value for fans of indie ’90s New York films. A worthy pickup for collectors of offbeat comedies and urban anthologies.
