France

Kino Lorber 4K Blu-ray or France 4K Blu-ray for the extras?

Comparison between different extras: https://dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=56142

France Carlotta 4K Blu-ray is FiM encoded and superior to Criterion 4K Blu-ray see caps but the Carlotta release is not English friendly

A user writes: 'the 5.0 mix does not closely resemble the matrixed stereo track included on all prior releases (save for a 2003 French DVD which had 5.1). There is significant dialogue emphasis in the 5.0 mix while the older stereo mix has ambient sounds and dialogue mixed at nearly the same loudness. Additionally, the 5.0 mix has minor limiting in select loud sequences and a strange distorted quality on occasion (one notable example is the sound of a plane taking off which plays during a static shot of clouds in the sky). The stereo mix included on the FRA UHD/BD is a downmix of the 5.0 track.'

(forced, but not hardcoded France subs, no English subtitles)

Germany DTS-HD 6.1 is inferior due to clipping.

France 4K Blu-ray audio is in the wrong pitch, plus the new 5.1 mix is worse than DVD's

The version screened at the Cannes International Film Festival ran 119 minutes. Hsiao-Hsien Hou then re-cut the movie following its Cannes premiere and reduced the running time to 105 minutes, this is the only version available on home video. Most of the deleted footage came from the "Vicky in Japan" sequences and is included as an extra on some releases.

(see video/audio notes)

The original master is of poor quality, blurry with some damage and bad levels, which the 4K remaster improves upon, with better detail in compression. Unfortunately, the 4K master has significant issues with color posterization, making it look like poor quality digital video rather than 16mm film. Comparison between masters, Carlotta/Tokyo Shock clip

Well Go does not include the dub.

France/Italy has Blu-ray, no US/UK releases

Shout! Factory and Carlotta use the same scan https://slow.pics/c/Wcn5YFlw, the Carlotta has two extra bonus features

US Lionsgate, France Metropolitan, and Germany Blu-ray have a 7.1 track, Australia Imprint has stereo only.

US Sony Blu-ray has exclusive extras

(needs gamma correction)

The movie was shot in HD and  France Potemkine Blu-ray (needs gamma correction) has slightly stronger encoding than Italy Eagle Pictures 4K Blu-ray. Curzon Blu-ray is the worst of all three (not by much) see caps.

Germany Plaion is reportedly better than UK Second Sight.

Not sure about the US Lionsgate or France ESC.
