Great news... One of my favourite films!

Strange, I bought the Blu Ray in Paris in 2013. Is this a new transfer?
The cover is identical .

The French Blu I own looks quite good. But a newer transfer taken from a 4k restoration would lead to a second purchase for me.

 

[JPCinema]

Me too...but the cover of the disc is the same.

It appears that the French release is the least expensive right now. Half the price of Germany.

I hope it's not as film grainy as the UK release.

Probably the same, but I'm sure it will look better than my DVD.

Please clarify.
Are you saying that if it ends up being a "4K restoration" you would make a second purchase,
or are you saying that it has already been written up as being a confirmed "4K restoration"?
Such a release would hasten my purchase of a Region-Free Player.

If memory serves (and it certainly doesn't always), the film was pretty grainy in its theatrical release. I always prefer that to the scrubbed and washed editions we too frequently see on Blu-ray.

Something devoutly to be wished. Romeo, and Taming, have some of the most sumptuous cinematography of the era.

Clever on the Hamlet quote.
My variation on that soliloquy would be about these hopeful transfers...
4K or not 4K, that is the question?

The French Blu Ray that I have is region free.

I am the opposit... I prefer no or very little film grain. Each to his own, I guess.

Yup.

Andrew's post was from April of 2013 so I think you got the disc he was talking about.
