Criterion released I Am Cuba on Laserdisc in March of 1996 as spine #295. https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/06893/CC1447L/I-Am-Cuba Criterion continued to release movies on Laserdisc for another three years. Their final release on the format was Armageddon, spine #384...

So, what the hell happened with that trailer, then?

All I can say is, if I buy this disc and it turns out that the whole movie looks like it's been soaked in urine like this "restoration" trailer, I'm gonna be pretty annoyed with you guys. And I really don't want to hear any rationalizations about how maybe that's how all movies ever made are...

Would love for RAH to weigh in on whether the new Blu-ray resembles that restoration trailer. Thanks.

So, hold on, is this Blu-ray not from the same yellow-stained "4K restoration" that played in theaters earlier this year?

I wonder if Criterion has shied away from Bertolucci after getting burned by The Last Emperor... even though the problems with that transfer were really Vittorio Storaro's doing. (FWIW, Criterion did also release Last Tango on Laserdisc back in the day.)

Wasn't there some controversy about this being given a heavy yellow grading, a la everything out of L'Immagine Ritrovata? Or was that the older Blu-ray?
