\n

Sex and Lucia<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray from Music Box and is shown in its original 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. There\u2019s no mention on the back cover of any restoration work but as it is, it\u2019s a decent looking picture however many shots looked washed out, but that\u2019s how it was shot rather than an issue with the transfer itself. That said, detail was good and it does appear clean free of major dust marks, scratches or other blemishes.<\/p>\n

The included Spanish language DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track and this is a movie that is almost strictly dialogue heavy with some modest depth when Lucia is traveling around where we can hear the sounds of the cities and towns.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
