Commentary - this exclusive new audio commentary was recorded by Frans Weisz biographer Harry Hosman. I listened to the commentary in its entirety and after I viewed Naked Over the Fence and found myself agreeing with virtually all of the comments Mr. Hosman made about the atmosphere and vitality of Amsterdam from the 1970s that are preserved in the film. Predictably, there are plenty of comments about the dilemmas each character faces throughout the film and Sylvia Kristel's performance in particular. Cult Epics has released Naked Over the Fence on Blu-ray continuing its line of Sylvia Kristel films in HD; here the film gets a new 4K transfer and restoration from the original camera negative. Overall, the film appears crisp and clear with just a smattering of damage and burns here and there. In comparison to other Kristel films and Dutch classics Cult Epics has released, this looks quite similar; there’s a tendency for some blown-out highlights in the film itself, but it features relatively good detail and a minimal grain presence. Colors tend to hue yellow, and occasionally there is a noticeable alteration in the grading in a few particular shots; also of note is some poor delineation in some of the few darker scenes the film has. Other than that, video quality is strong and quite consistent with other releases of the same ilk. Five men and two women, who survive an airplane crash, discover that they may be the only survivors of a world disaster. The question arises: whether the human race can survive, or will man kind destroy itself. It took me nearly thirty minutes to realize what Frans Weisz was trying to accomplish with his film Naked Over the Fence. Its idiosyncratic sense of humor confused me a bit because it made certain developments, which I will mention below, difficult to immediately place in a proper context. It was clear to me that Weisz had not conceived Naked Over the Fence to function as a straightforward comedy, but I was unsure what the purpose of the colorful mayhem at the center of it was. Then suddenly everything made perfect sense to me.
