I watched the two just a few days apart and the 4k is in another world of quality than criterion’s release. Every shot looks like a moving painting on the 4k transfer, where much of the Criterion transfer looks washed out and flat. This set absolutely changes the viewing experience in the best way
I’m very late to the party. Just found your site and subscribed. First. Thanks for all the hard work you put into each episode. Second. You do a detailed analysis of each film. Helps me in my purchasing.
@@TwinFlicks I don't understand your comment. BS would mean the reports are wrong yet the fact that you've had zero problems would mean they're in fact region free labelled as region B
I just came from a 35mm print screening of the film. It was in pretty good shape, minus the print damage near the end of the reels, but the colors were still beautiful and intact. However, I will honestly say I don’t remember the film being so golden color, like the 4K. In fact, the 35mm film screening had a more colder look, very similar with the Criterion Blu-ray. Now, I understand the film’s 4K release was approved by the director and cinematographer, but I’d be lying if I said that looked anything like the 35mm print I saw tonight just about an hour ago. Regardless, I enjoyed the film.
Looks amazing. The Last Wave is another wonderful Weir film.

100%
Just watched the 4K last week for the 1st time (the film that is). Amazing film and a fantastic transfer

Hey man I appreciate that! And welcome to the channel.
Ah memories, I used to study this film many eons ago.
Really? As an eassy?
@@TwinFlicks yes, when I was living in Australia.
Have to say if you think the 4k colors look good, you should take a trip to Australia.
I can imagine colors look unbelievable in person,
I'm curious, does the original criterion dvd release remain more faithful to the original look over the 2018 blu ray?
I don't own it, so I can't say. But from what I heard and read they look the same. Criterion changed the color grading.
1:37 is from Gallipoli not Hanging Rock
It's been reported that the included blurays are actually region free. Have you tested those discs on a region A player?
The reports are BS. I live in the US which is Region A and absolutely zero problems!

Thanks for the video! I own and love this release, but am a little disappointed due to the DNR application. But otherwise the release is awesome!
Yeah I'm curious as to why they used some DNR but was unable to find anything. Still a great looking UHD

I always hate that criterion blu ray color grading and aspect ratio. All wrong.
