Criterion’s special edition remains packed to the brim, even managing to include material that was omitted from their previous Blu-ray edition. However, the real selling point of this release is the new 4K presentation, which far surpasses the old Blu-ray. The new image is a significant upgrade, completely overshadowing the previous, disappointing release.
