Mosfilm official 4K Youtube Streaming

Mosfilm official 4K Youtube Streaming is the only release for the new 4K restoration. Mosfilm's release has no sepia, and whether or not if this is the original color grading is still under debate.

For other releases: Netherlands Lumière Blu-ray is best, but all releases of the 2K restoration have issues:

• German Filmjuwelen 4K Blu-ray is 2K upscale and has incorrectly pitched Russian audio. See caps

• Criterion Blu-ray/Germany Filmjuwelen Blu-ray have yellow tint on sepia scenes

• France Potemkine (Standalone) has raised blacks and poor encoding

• France Potemkine (Boxset) has orange tint on sepia scenes and poor encoding

• Netherlands Lumière has correct sepia scenes, good encode, but gamma is slightly off.

• Italy General Video Recording has correct sepia scenes but gamma is off (more so than Netherlands Blu-ray and worse encode)
