Criterion/Capelight Germany/Madman Australia 4K Blu-ray
Neither Criterion nor Germany Capelight 4K Blu-ray has good encoding https://slow.pics/c/bWhRoxpi also see Criterion review with disappointing compression per Geoff D

Since posting this, I watched the Capelight in full and the anomalies the caps reveal didn’t bother me in motion. I did look out for issues and can’t really complain. The trickiest scenes are those set in daylight, particularly in the third act, and the Criterion looks terrible here. Unfortunately the caps are just from the first hour but in doing comparisons with the discs, I noticed that Capelight managed to resolve detail more evenly and makes for a more satisfying experience in my mind.
Australia Madman is very similar to Criterion, see caps provided by Joel https://slow.pics/c/9MDRLoOl and https://slow.pics/c/1EVsFQCZ

France The Jokers 4K Blu-ray has the least DNR (Britain Artificial Eye might be similar? Both better than Universal 4K Blu-ray)
Criterion even though doesn’t have 4K, it has the B&W version and a lot of extras.

Britain New Wave Blu-ray is the best English-friendly release. Compared to the US Adopt Blu-ray, it has the making of documentary and no burned in subtitles
Turkish release is 1080i
Caps for France vs Germany vs Britain vs Turkish release https://slow.pics/c/jYBS2CWE not sure what the correct grading is but Germany release looks too dark

No comparisons but Artificial Eye doesn't look like a new transfer, so likely Sony is better. Because this is shot on HD digital and transferred to 35mm, not expecting any improvement in the future either.
