Just Curzon Film, Artificial Eye no longer functionally exist.

The cover art of the slipcover is perfect.

steel_breeze · 02-06-2023, 01:35 AM

Unfortunately this new restoration is too blue and magenta.

(I kid, I kid. But wouldn't that be hilarious?)

Yeah, Curzon doesn't seem to offer HDR on their UHD releases.

Three Colours states HDR Dolby Vision in the other thread. Would be strange if Veronique doesn't have it as well, since the French one does.

but their specs didn't say HDR or DV, as they do on Three Colours.

Yes, I saw that. But it'd be strange. Maybe they just forgot to mention with the specs with this one.

Best to ask them, since they seem to reply quickly, but I'll leave that to the natives in this case.

I wrote them an email right after the pre-order appeared and sadly they haven’t responded. I took the “homeent” email which was posted in the Wings of Desire thread.

Very disappointing. I have the French UHD and the colors and grain in DV (putting aside the questionable encoding in some moments) look absolutely stunning in every sense of the word. It would be a great shame to miss out on that. Hopefully it’s an oversight as you said but I honestly expect the worst for now at least.

But I changed my mind and did get a response basically instantly (i.e. next work day) today.

Only $30.99 at rarewaves, do I buy or wait for Criterion to release this in 4K?

lgans316 · 03-02-2023, 06:56 AM

£20 at Amazon UK

Defo pre-ordering at that price, even if it is with the evil empire. Can always cancel if the transfer is a bust, which fingers crossed it won't be.

kashif · 03-13-2023, 04:49 AM

Pre ordered as well. This packaging has beautiful aesthetic look which I doubt with the Criterion will have.

TheBondFan · 03-13-2023, 01:55 PM

Is this another encoding ? If that's the case that means we have 3 different 4k masters of the movie ?

Yes, the 4K triple encoding of The Double Life of Veronique, single disc

Encodes aren't separate masters, so no there are not 3 different 4k masters.

Adam_ME · 04-14-2023, 01:14 AM

Was this delayed? I just got an e-mail from Amazon UK saying that there's no longer a release date.
