Based on this. See for yourself. BTW, after I saw the above comparison, I did pick up the cheaper R2 disk, and the transfer is breathtaking.The colors on the discs are certainly different, but without an external point of reference, I don't see how it has been decided that the R2 color is "right" while the Criterion color is "wrong." Not every film's color scheme is supposed to match up to our expectations of skin tones and the like. I see it as being just as possible that Criterion got it right while the R2 disc got it wrong.
