Looks like the bride is very popular lately. Besides the upcoming Kino release Radiance Films from the UK will also release the film on Blu-ray on May 15th. Below are the extras which are different from what is on the Kino and Twilight Time discs. I already have the Twilight Time release so will skip the Kino but might buy this one.

• High-Definition digital transfer
• Original uncompressed French mono PCM audio
• Archival interviews with François Truffaut and Jeanne Moreau (1968, 1969)
• Appreciation by filmmaker Kent Jones (Hitchcock/Truffaut) (2023)
• Barry Forshaw on Cornell Woolrich and the adaptation (2023)
• Original trailer
• Les surmenes (Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, 1957, 21 mins) - an early short written by Truffaut and starring Jean-Claude Brialy
• Optional English subtitles
• Reversible sleeve featuring designs based on original posters
• Limited edition booklet featuring new writing on the film by Emmanuel Burdeau, archival writing by Truffaut and Moreau, and a contemporary article on the film by Penelope Houston
• Limited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings

I don't own this but will probably buy the UK release, good package.

Yeah, great extras but I already have the TT, which is very likely the same master. And that does have the isolated score, which this doesn't. It was the first Truffaut I ever saw, at the Rialto, an art house next to Erasmus Hall on Flatbush Avenue, though I had already bought the Hitchcock book. Though at the time Truffaut said it was his tribute to Hitch, it's really pure Truffaut.

All transfers are the same and it would have been nice to at least get something fresher.

There is a review of the UK Radiance Films Blu-ray release and it looks like it's the same transfer as used in both the Kino and Twilight Time discs. Some nice extras on the new one.
