Bandai 4K Blu-ray? vs 2008 Japan Bandai Blu-ray (BCXA-0085): same video but includes Bandai English dub and original mix

Has English subtitles, better than 2015 Maiden Blu-ray which lacks the original mix

But completely DNR'd.

For grain, most release starting from 2007 Japan Bandai Blu-ray (BCXA-0003) are ok.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray is a disaster. The compression on the base layer is horrid, and the oversized 18 Mbps FEL barely helps.

Lionsgate 4K Blu-ray includes original matrixed Dolby Stereo mix, albeit lossy, and a 5.1 surround upmix. The stereo track on previous BD and DVD releases is also lossy and sounds about the same.

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray worse than Blu-ray with poor encoding (review)

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray cancelled.

Gaumont Blu-ray but no English subtitles: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Deux-sous-de-violettes-Blu-ray/288976/

Gaumont France Blu-ray has no EN subtitles

Disney+ has new master better than Blu-ray

Criterion DVD/Disney Blu-ray is missing a line:

Hummel: (line missing)
 
Lou Lindstrom: "Hello Frank. Lou Lindstrom"

Disney+:

Hummel: Hummel.

Lou Lindstrom: "Hello Frank. Lou Lindstrom"

Blu-ray better than Capelight Germany 4K Blu-ray, heavy DNR on the 4K Blu-ray

Fox Blu-ray for original cuts without the extra scene added in the re-release and AI upscaling

Newer Blu-ray/4K has the extra scene, but is poor and has excessive AI upscaling

An additional scene was added to the ending of the movie in the 2022 re-release: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=493908

2012 Criterion Blu-ray is the most accurate

4K Blu-ray unrecommended because of controversial colours, no HDR, minimal resolution uptick, and DNR master

The 4K Blu-ray 5.1 adds additional foley and effects.

• SerialSquadron SD Blu-ray see caps even though in very bad quality is still the best available version

• Grapevine OOP DVD but no information

• AlphaVideo DVD is a "feature version" and apparently cut different episodes together in one DVD according to this Amazon review

Alternatively, HD Streaming on Apple TV or Amazon from Grasshopper

• This film received multiple blu-ray versions since its initial release. Be sure on whether the Dolby Atmos track, newer extras or 3D image is preferred. The 2024 release is a reprint of the Diamond Luxe. 

• 2024 Blu-ray/2013 Diamond Luxe Edition Blu-ray has new extras not present on previous releases

• Caps for France vs Germany vs UK vs Turkish release https://slow.pics/c/jYBS2CWE not sure what the correct grading is but Germany release looks too dark

UK New Wave Blu-ray, compared to the US Adopt Blu-ray, has the making of documentary and no burned in subtitles

1969 version: Criterion Blu-ray > UK Artificial Eye Blu-ray, see DVDBeaver caps.

Japan Kadokawa Blu-ray is the same as AE BD and inferior to Criterion too
