France Potemkine Blu-ray has exclusive extras and scores

Eureka MoC Blu-ray

Kino Lorber AR is squished; MoC is correct. Unsure on France Potemkine

Eureka MoC Blu-ray

MoC > Kino Lorber (see slowpics for comparison). No information on Potemkine.

MoC has higher bitrate than Kino Lorber, also the contrast is increased. But there is no noticeable reduction in visible film damage presented between the two offerings.

Criterion Blu-ray

2019 Potemkine France Blu-ray less processing than Criterion. Need to adjust luminence from 16-235 (limited) to 0-255 (full) to fix crushed blacks

BFI Blu-ray

BFI Blu-ray: strong VDMS encode of a 4K scan.

No comparisons available against France Potemkine or Japan IVC. They are presumably from the same master, but do not feature English subs.

TBD: BFI Blu-ray’s mono sounds clean. No hiss but not noticeably muffled/filtered either. No known comparisons against older releases.

Criterion Blu-ray

Criterion Blu-ray is 4k transfer, not sure Potemkine or Spain import

Criterion DVD

Potemkine has Blu-ray, not sure how good

Criterion Blu-ray

Rohmer Potemkine set vs Criterion set?

Netherlands 2006 Homescreen DVD

Criterion Blu-ray

Criterion and Potemkine both have boxsets

Potemkine France Blu-ray is a recent 4K restoration compared to the old Japan Imagica Blu-ray, it unfortunately also has the eclair teal https://slow.pics/c/BIIWAPtO

Given that it's a Janus theatrical release, an English-friendly and Criterion release can be expected in the near future.

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)

New Yorker DVD?

Arrow Blu-ray

Arrow Eric Rohmer set probably > Potemkine

Cohen Blu-ray

Criterion 4K Blu-ray

Criterion 4K Blu-ray > France Potemkine 4K Blu-ray > Germany StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray see caps. Criterion has the best encode.

While the framing of Criterion is different, they are actually both faithful to the original theatrical versions see post1 and post2 by b0b.
