This is in the Amazon 2 for £10 offer. How could I say no, even if it is not in stock at the moment

No, I don't. It was being mentioned in a review that there's image wobble
from time to time.

I can confirm the original 2012 release has Italian, French and English audio.

Is the transfer of this blu-ray the same one as the Italian one?

It's likely closer to, or the same as the DE BD in that comparison, given the original UK & DE releases were both by StudioCanal in April & May 2012.

I'd be interested to see what the 2020/21 Paramount releases in the UK/DE look like, if they were an improvement or the same transfer. As to quote myself when I watched the 2012 disc a few years back, "I found that the transfer had an odd filtered appearance. Something about it just seemed off."




EDIT: Looking at its back cover here, the listed extras seem to match the 2012 release, and with no mention of a "remaster", that suggests it may just be a port of the old disc.
