Video Notes:

Germany Plaion 4K Blu-ray > Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray

Plaion fixed Kino’s errors. Excellent release but it’s only for the blue tier as there’s not as much fine detail in the master as we’ve come to expect from high quality 4K transfers. Either Kino / Studiocanal didn’t use the negative or the scan wasn’t the best. - impressions.

Kino Lorber is a solid master but with picture and audio errors
