What's the quality of the UK Blu-ray, and do we have reason to expect the Umbrella to be an improvement?

This release showcases an exclusive restoration and extensive special features, such as a seminar about the the Max Stuart case featuring Geoffrey Robertson QC and former High Court Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG.

I would be surprised if it got a Blu Ray release outside of Australia.

It's playing in the London Film Festival next month but according to the programme it doesn't have a UK distributor yet.

At least it was for Kids) than usually-cheaper UK retailer sites like Rarewaves. For whatever reason, it seems like Australia is giving some U.S. companies better prices, which I won't complain about
