BFI Blu-ray (flawed restoration)

Best Video:

BFI or Gaumont Blu-ray (both from the same flawed restoration)

Best Audio:

BFI or Gaumont Blu-ray

Additional Info:

The BFI and Gaumont Blu-ray releases are both from the same restoration by Éclair. Although this restoration is much superior in detail to the old Criterion DVD, like many Éclair restorations, it has issues with colour. There is a definite yellow cast to the footage, making skin tones appear sickly and dampening the impact of the colour. The image is also murkier than the Criterion

As Renoir scholar Tag Gallagher notes: "I talked a lot toward the end about the light blue walls (Criterion); but when I got the BFI blu I was greatly deflated, because the walls are light gray!"

That said, as visible in the screen caps at DVD Beaver, the Criterion has compromised colour too, and often looks too blue/magenta. There is a regraded edition of the BFI Blu-ray out there on the high seas.

The audio on the Blu-ray releases is slightly compressed, but better than earlier DVD releases and relatively full frequency.

The BFI is most likely the best English-friendly release as it includes English subtitles for the bonus features.

Best Video:

Criterion and ARTE France looks slightly different, ARTE color is more lifelike but more blocky, neither looks the best. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=7958&d2=7959&c=3233
