Easily Stamp’s Finest, Tenderest Scene

Terence Stamp‘s Willie Parker to John Hurt‘s Braddock in Stephen Frear‘s The Hit: “Why should I be scared? Death is just a stage in the journey. We’re here, and then we’re not here. And we’re somewhere else. Maybe. And it’s as natural as breathing.”

Why is the quality of this clip so shitty? Criterion has had a 1080p Bluray version out for several years now.
