Video Notes:

AU Umbrella 4K Blu-ray > US Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray

The US/Theatrical Cut on the Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray is AI upscaled and has DNR, along with Kino Lorber's usual poor compression.

Director's Cut uses a proper transfer but suffers from terrible compression, even by Kino standards.

The Umbrella with its FiM encode looks blurrier due to a slight low-pass filter, but is still far better than Kino.

Audio Notes:

AU Umbrella 4K Blu-ray and US Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray are the same.
