Shout Factory | 157 min | Rated R | May 27, 2025
Genre: Drama
Format: Blu-ray (Region A)

️ Video

• Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
• Resolution: 1080p
• Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
• Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.0/5)
  Sourced from the same 4K restoration as the Ultra HD disc, the Blu-ray offers a crisp and elegant image with natural film grain and rich detail. While not quite as nuanced as its 4K counterpart, contrast is strong, and colors—especially warm tones during the Thanksgiving scenes and New York nightlife—are well balanced. Skin tones are lifelike, and fine textures in suits, hotel rooms, and wood interiors are nicely preserved.

Audio

• Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.0/5)
  The 5.1 mix is polished and immersive where needed, with clear dialogue and subtly engaging sound design. The tango sequence and courtroom speech highlight the soundtrack’s best moments, while the 2.0 stereo track provides a clean, faithful alternative for traditionalists.

A powerful performance piece built around Al Pacino’s unforgettable turn, Scent of a Woman holds up well as a mature, emotional drama. While this Blu-ray doesn’t include extras, it delivers top-tier visuals and audio, making it a great rental for fans of classic ’90s cinema.
