The Criterion laserdisc version was a better representation of the original look of the film. I'm actually in shock about how terrible the picture is here. This is not what Lazlo Kovacs shot. At all.

On the BD they corrected the issues from the 2005 Transfer.
In this review you will see a comparison between DVD 99, DVD 05 and BD 09:

Color separation on the Blu Ray is way better than on the dvd from 2005.
Colors are also better in my opinion.
Contrast still looks boosted. But better than on the 05 DVD.
Check out the screenshot comparison in the review.
And Sony said that the DoP was involved in the Blu Ray Transfer before he died.
