I very much hope someone who knows a great deal about film stocks and how films were supposed to look when first new will give us an informed opinion about the picture quality of this disc and how it compares with the previous Blu-ray disc.

Any word if Cohen did the 4K restoration from the B/W negatives? If this trailer is any indication; maybe not.



"Coming to NYC’s Quad Cinema on February 7 followed by LA’s Royal on February 21, we’re pleased to premiere the new trailer which shows off the glorious new restoration, which took more than 700 hours to complete and featured the removal of age-related damage to 177,120 individual frames of the film. A favorite of Martin Scorsese, he shared his personal print to use as a color reference for this restoration, and remarked, “Watching this film is like entering a strange and wonderful dream.”

Has anyone seen this restoration during it's current theatrical run?

Having Lewin's rare The Living Idol (1957) as a bonus makes this a definite purchase!

The Living Idol was on Criterion Channel streaming recently. It looked great even if the film itself is fairly mediocre.

Anyone get this version, ad comments on the quality in elation to previous releases?

The official release date is Tuesday. I almost preordered it during Target's latest "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" sale, but realized I haven't even watched the prior Kino BD release.

I love it some when entity does a frame count, and asserts difficulty. Most 3-strips need a bit more than an automated clean-up.

Last I heard Cohen had the masters, but if its the negs, God bless them.

Btw, it’s 1,440 frames per minute. And not every frame should have problems. Separate actual labor from sizzle.

Looks quite nice. I’m in.

Mine arrived early and although it is indeed better than the previous release, there are many scenes especially in the beginning that have an off putting yellow
tint which make the actors look like they have hepatitis. Otherwise it's a beautiful transfer.
