The House with Laughing Windows (1976)

Director: Pupi Avati

Best English-Friendly & Video:

UK Shameless 4K Blu-ray or US Arrow 4K Blu-ray

Video Notes:

Both the US Arrow 4K Blu-ray and UK Shameless 4K Blu-ray are better than the horrible grade of the France Le Chat Qui Fume which has blacks looking greenish and milky with some yellow push. However, comparing these two, there's significant tradeoffs; Arrow has less black crush and some shots seems to be better graded but it's worse in some shots with a slight magenta grade; the UK Shameless 4K Blu-ray has a better color grading.
