Audio: The audio is a 5.1 digital audio platform that really delivers an awesome experience. The audio storyteller, if you will, is the music that beats out the feel of the images as they are presented. I've never seen anything like this before & was quite impressed by the overall effect this presentation had on not only my audio system but my person as well.

Video: The video is a widescreen non-anamorphic presentation. There were no imperfections of any kind noted. The black & white format in which the film is presented is stunning at the very least. While I have seen many black & white films on disc, none of them have been this clean.

Extras: The extras included are a photo gallery & an insightful interview with the director in which he explains his impetus for doing this body of work.

Overall: Hommage a'Noir is a tribute to the contemporary people of Africa that has never before been done. It's incredible how one man's vision of enlightenment can be so ...enlightening. The images are stunning & engender great feelings of pride & affirmation. This is really something that everyone should see & experience. It's a 47 minute documentary that for the first time shows an unashamed view that reminds us that "art is eager to approach truth in a much more significant way than a scrupulous depiction of reality"-Cover Magazine. Hommage a' Noir is the best documentary of it's kind.
