The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Reviews

RoRoFilmlexikon: "Drei Frauen aus drei Generationen ertränken ihre Ehemänner und verbünden sich mit dem Leichenbeschauer, um die Morde zu vertuschen. In grandiosen Farb- und Lichtkompositionen als Abfolge makaber-surrealer Spiele von eigensinniger Logik inszenierter Film, der zahllose Ideen- Assoziationen entfesselt."
