Smart move I was disappointed when this wasn't part of the first wave of 4K titles

Great! Now, where's Roma and The Irishman?

ShellOilJunior · 08-31-2021, 03:55 PM

No more half measures.

I like it.

I would think those are coming soon if they bothered to re-release this on UHD. If they are, that's two purchases from this wolf. I specifically passed on those two titles multiple times during the B&N sales for that reason.

I could see Netflix wanting to keep the 4K as an exclusive on their site. But I would rebuy them on UHD!

Why would Netflix care about a niche market such as UHD?

I’m not saying they care about discs specifically, but thinking they might care about where people can see the 4K whether it be stream or disc.

I think the UHD rights are a drop in the bucket to Netflix.

The Blu-ray of Uncut Gems sold 50,000 units week 1 on blu-ray. Let's say Criterion sells 15,000 on UHD week 1 - that may even be a generous estimate.

Netflix has 200 million+ subscribers. I think it makes sense for Netflix to allow a boutique label to release a movie on UHD. It doesn't hurt sales and it comes down to picking up a little more money by licensing.

This would look absolutely stunning in 4K HDR. The grain on the 4K DCP I saw was lovely and very fine, with detail being off the charts in many shots. Robbie Ryan is a very underrated cinematographer, and it’s a real shame his stunning 35mm and 16mm work on Ken Loach films gets relegated to 2K DCPs since that’s the finish the budget levels for those films allow for.

Edit: Just saw that The Favourite had a 2K finish too, absolute travesty that still so many new titles originating in 35mm end up with 2K DI finishes in this day and age. The Favourite may have been a case of there being too much CGI (which isn’t very likely anyway), but at the end of the day we have a film like Jarhead having a 4K DI but not for some films from just 2-3 years ago.

You both forgot an even bigger no brainer: PARASITE

As for the cover art, I quite like it and the text isn't as crammed and illegible as the previous one

I really don't need another Parasite 4K, but I'd actually take (and forgot) a certain lady on fire.
