In many respects, Heat is epic in its simplicity. Some films are just too big for home video. Heat may be the rare work that reveals the limits of Blu-ray. Warner’s new Blu-ray is a huge improvement: a first-rate reproduction of a film masterpiece, but a reproduction nonetheless. For all the effort invested in previous versions on laserdisc and DVD, they were no more than faint sketches of that original encounter. It’s a film in which Michael Mann and his long-time collaborator Dante Spinotti achieved an intensity of visual poetry that has seldom been equaled, and certainly never exceeded, in the cinema of cops and robbers. Nothing will ever match my initial experience of seeing Heat on the giant screen at New York’s Ziegfeld Theater in December 1995.
