I don't have the CC edition but I just looked at Beaver's screengrabs and the faces are flatten or stretched compared to the other DVD editions. At the moment I haven't read any other comments here or elsewhere regarding this issue.

EDIT: I just read about the mumps on the Australian edition here.

Hi everyone! I was wondering where did they get the picture that is printed in the disc. I haven't found it in the whole film, I guess they're editorial pictures or something like that. If anyone knows the source, please share that info with me! :)

This is from where Marcello is off in the other room in the villa while Maddalena is calling to him through the grate in the wall.

Yes, I know! The scene It's usually called "La stanza dei discorsi seri". But what I can't find is that exact frame.
There's no long shot of this man giving a kiss to Maddalena. You can see both of them in a wide angle and then he's kissing her in a close up shot.

Labels often use press or set photos for packaging imagery, it’s likely pulled from one of those

A major reason for this being that the quality of on-set stills will be noticeably superior to frame blowups.

I just noticed new screenshots added as of recent to the film’s page on the site. I wonder if this will be the next paramount title, and first Fellini film in the collection, to get a 4K release.

That would be an absolute dream. The film really needs an entire disc to "breathe" properly. Whoever of these two labels does it, I implore them to put out an encode that does the masterpiece justice.

this is way too big a title to be a boxset exclusive, I wouldn't be shocked at all to see this happen. hopefully we get some good news soon

pretty wild Fellini still doesn't have a single UHD for any of his movies anywhere in the world yet

There is a Paramount Blu-ray that’s readily available in the U.S. for what it’s worth, so it can be easily acquired individually. As for the new film stills in the CC site, those have been there a while. A few months back people were guessing they implied a 4K upgrade, but it still hasn’t been announced. Either way, I’m guessing this would be another one of their 4K SDR discs if it were to happen, and I don’t think a newer scan of the film exists than what’s on the Blu-ray(it dates from 2010), so I don’t really know how big a priority this one is from a technical standpoint. 8 1/2 has a much more recent scan.

I guess all I’m saying is LDV is one of those scans that from a technical standpoint a label like BFI, Carlotta, or Eureka probably wouldn’t bother putting on 4K.
