Best English-Friendly & Video:

Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Sources: Criterion Forum (opens in a new tab)

Video Notes:

The Criterion 4K Blu-ray has marginally better detail and grain structure than ESC 4K Blu-ray

The ESC France 4K Blu-ray is an SDR grade erroneously presented in HDR, but if your player can force the HDR into SDR it looks very good.

Best Audio:

2011 Criterion Blu-ray

Audio Notes:

2011 Criterion Blu-ray has the least tampered with audio of the DVD era, but it's possible the 1993 Criterion LaserDisc or the 1998 Japan LaserDisc are preferable.

Best Video:

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
