I didn’t think I would ever see the word ultra used in the same sentence with GB2!

I watched the Shawshank UHD this weekend- WOW! I thought the video was fabulous.

That is one excellent-looking 4k release. Really defines the format. Glad to read you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Have any of these films ever been released in UHD? You’d think there will be a boxed set of all the films.

The last movie in 2017, had a 4K/UHD release with 4K/Dolby Vision & Atmos. The other four movies have been digitally available in 4K/Dolby Vision for a while now. I purchased the 4K digital bundle for $19.99.

I added it to the Amazon Pre-Order listing for release on February 22nd.

One of the greatest European directors, Krzysztof Kieslowski, made some of the greatest films - especially the Three Colors Trilogy and The Double Life Of Veronique. Not only were these unforgettably moving stories for anyone who saw them theatrically, they also boasted stunning original soundtracks by Kieslowski's musical collaborator, Zbigniew Preisner. Criterion has released these titles, but the Three Colors Trilogy rank amongst the very worst video masters Criterion have in their library. In France, both the Three Colors Trilogy and The Double Life Of Veronique are out on UHD discs with revelatory new masters and my hope is that Criterion will be able to replace their old editions with these new ones.

Are they truly revelatory? Or is that the marketing? I’ll believe nothing until I have eyes on.

All men dream!

I know one can't swear by screen caps on a computer screen to judge film quality, but I do have the Criterion Colors Trilogy on blu ray and they don't look anywhere near as good at home, as they did at the cinema. If my French was up to scratch, I would have purchased this French UHD release tout de suite. But I'm waiting for someone to release with English sous-titres. Also, the soundtrack now looks as though it has a 5.1 option, while the Criterion only has a rather anaemic stereo 2.0. The soundtrack is such an integral part of these films. I remember very clearly, the end of Blue was enhanced at the theatrical performance, by the cinema screen remaining blue, without the curtains being closed, or the house lights being switched on, while the music thundered to a crescendo. The audience sat in their seats, transfixed, unable to rise up and leave.

They’re extraordinary films that deserve nothing less than perfection.

Which should not be all that difficult.

François Truffaut's Les Aventures d'Antoine Doinel is available on a French UHD box set but with no english subtitles. I hope Criterion will re-release their box set on Blu-ray or 4K.

Just saw the screencaps for those at Capsholic, and I'm not convinced that 4K release is a good one color-wise. Looks too yellow/greenish in general, especially for Blue... although the screencaps comparisons did also make me wonder if the Criterion version (at least) of Red may be too blue/cool OTOH...

Also, not too convinced there's actually 4K in details in that 4K release (other than the film grain being likely better/finer resolved) -- there might be some select shots w/ real details that exceed 1080p, but probably not much based on what I see in those screencaps... Would be much better if Capsholic provided comparisons against the included BDs as well...
