A note about the transfer: for those of you familiar with the foreign territory releases on blu-ray, this transfer is the same. There appears to be only one surviving HD master, culled from the best available sources. The transfer is detailed, colorful, and sharp, but its one blemish is the recurring incidences of white speckling, also known as "minus density" (trademark, RAH!) Apart from that, it looks very good. It must be remembered that ALFREDO GARCIA was a low-budget, indie road movie, shot entirely on location in Mexico, and it remains unclear what the state of the original elements actually is, and whether any of them have survived in reasonable shape.

It's already out on blu via import so who cares. *beep* film anyhow. It had a few good scenes but overall it was pretty dull.

Just ordered it. That bit about the transfer is so sad! It makes me suspect that this will be the final home video release of this film. It will never look better...

I watched it the other day and the transfer looks great, dust specs aside.
