I don't know if Criterion will ever get around to releasing this film on Blu Ray, but... does anyone know if any of the European releases or the Japanese release are any good?

So, I got the BD today and looked into it.


I am no expert, please keep that in mind, but I would say there's some room for improvement.

The sharpness overall is good. The indoor shots look ok while the outdoor shots have quite some scratches. The grain looks a bit digital, especially on the outdoor shots. But not as bad as I would mind for only a couple of £'s.


This is an average Blu-ray at best.

Thanks so much!! Good to know, I'll decide if I'll grab it or not!

Wish I'd seen this thread - the Hamlet Blu from the UK is dreadful. That film should be stunning on Blu-ray, and it is anything but.
