Paramount have an extremely impressive track record in the high definition domain, and Black Snake Moan is no exception. I contrast to Warner, who seem to routinely filter pretty much everything, Paramount’s attitude to their modern, digital intermediate-sourced masters is to leave the damn thing alone - a most admirable approach. Black Snake Moan is one of those titles that really “pops” in HD, with richly saturated colours and most scenes taking place in broad daylight. It’s smooth rather than pin sharp, but this seems to be entirely representative of the film’s look.
