While Criterion Essential Fellini boxset is a must, it sometimes doesn't have the best quality. It's also missing many of the later films.

The most notable ones include:

  • 8½ has UHD also by Criterion

  • The Temptation of Dr. Antonio is Fellini's segment of Boccaccio '70,, and the picture quality is much worse than other releases. Kino BD is the recommended releases.

  • Toby Dammit is Fellini's segment of Spirits of the Dead, and the picture quality is worse than other releases. Arrow BD is the recommended releases.

Video Notes:

2014 Criterion Blu-ray is from the same master and has only slightly worse compression. JP/DE/FR releases all have incorrect levels. Caps

Audio Notes:

All Blu-ray releases are from the same mastering, superior to the one on older DVD releases which is sourced from a higher generation source. They all sound about the same, with the exception of Criterion, which sounds worse due to extraneous filtering.

Paramount's disc also includes a contemporary English dub, previously unreleased on home video.

Co-directors: Mario Monicelli & Luchino Visconti & Vittorio De Sica

Best English-Friendly & Video:

Kino Lorber Blu-ray

Video Notes:

Kino Lorber Blu-ray doesn’t have good encoding, but according to BR, the English Cult Films Blu-ray is worse, and the original master just isn’t that good

Co-directors: Louis Malle & Roger Vadim

Video Notes:

Even though there is a RaroVideo Blu-ray, it has aggressive DNR and bad encoding so Minerva DVD is still visibly superior, see DVDBeaver caps.

While Minerva DVD has contrast boosting and black crush, it's still much superior to UK Optimum DVD.
