But now they're using the original title: https://www.amazon.com/Moonlight-Jemma- ... 07M8DN7C3/

It's the same exact movie, re-released. Whenever I check to see if a bluray is available I look under both titles just to be thorough. It's not actual HD by the way if you purchase the Amazon Prime version. I did, and it's no sharper than the DVD version - which fortunately is very high quality. Among the better discs I've seen.

I am getting the file and will compare it again with the dvd in detail. But you’ve mentioned having looked at it in the past and it not being superior quality than the dvd because it is a simple upscale.

Feels similar to „Psy“ (1992) AMZN…

Moonlight (2016)

Moonlight (2002)

The Amazon web-dl of Psy is true 1080p. I've looked at the 5.4 GB amzn 1080p rip of Moonlight and it's just another upscale, DVD quality converted to 1920x1080 format and not genuine HD. The DVD actually looks slightly better than any of the Amazon versions. The file on eMule is 600 MB larger and in the size range you'd expect of a true 1080p version - but with so little of it downloaded I can't preview it and look at the stats, bitrate and so forth.

The one idiot who has the whole thing connects for short periods at a time with a long queue so you often don't get anything before the source is gone again. It's going to take forever to download. And it's a real long shot that it will be any better than existing versions. I have enough space on my hard drive that I don't really care though, so I'll just leave it and see if it ever finishes, or at least gets far enough along to preview.

It was Moonlight (2016) with Mahershalah Ali. I just deleted it.

I have deadman's copy and it seems to be English (I didn't think this was an English film)

Laurien van den Broeck speaks her native Dutch plus English, French, and German. There's actually some French dialogue in her character Claire's adoptive home - but most of the film was shot in English (the soundtrack is not dubbed).
