Neither Criterion Blu-ray or Germany Plaion Blu-ray are great see caps

  • While they are different transfers and the Criterion one is a 4K restoration, it's very soft and has some dark crushes.

  • The Plaion Blu-ray is sharpened and is slightly more zoomed in

Additional Info:

Theatrical cut is on the 4K disc, but the restored Director's Cut is only on the Blu-Ray disc. Director's Cut utilizes the same 4K transfer as the theatrical cut for 86 minutes, but the 6 minutes of restored footage could only be salvaged from a standard definition source and are thus needed to be upscaled.
