But that atrocious encoding is what looks like to be doing all the damage. Grain ain't there because what should be there isn't coming through that encoding. blocks, legos, and splotches galore.

Does the DV layer bring much of that back? If at all?

Yep that is correct. Just got done watching my copy. This film is a favorite of mine and I thought the new transfer looked great. Nice filmic image with a fine grain structure that really brings out Michael Chapman's beautiful photography nicely. I watched the new BD mind you so I can only speak for how that looks and not the UHD though.
