Restorer Kevin Manbeck and composer Richard Einhorn discuss their late 80's restoration of The Passion of Joan of Arc for the Criterion Collection.
Now restored in 2K (probably scanned in 4K and restored in 2k) : http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Passion-of-Joan-of-Arc-Blu-ray/133941/

New:
This new restoration looks denser in contrast, and quite more sharper. Indeed it's so sharp the texture make the skin look like a bit as was in need for a hydrating cream. The director, if I remamber well, wished no make-up at all, or something like that.
MTI, who develop film restoration tools used often by Criterion Collection, have a very good aperture correction filter, able to get results close to natural deppending of the source print. I believe they used this filter, maybe to enhance the look of the 4K transfer by improving details nearly hidden, almost dissolved, and bringing it to back to be visible.
