Their stellar The Last Seduction UHD and some interesting original extras in several other releases got my hopes up that Imprint is finally turning the corner and begins to distinguish itself as a serious label.

I'm not sure if we can really expect Imprint to better relatively recent Criterion and Arrow releases in terms of transfers. It's interesting that Carlotta made a special effort to adjust their two titles, and I have to admit it looks more natural, but I have no expertise on the topic of the grading of these films, other than internet outrage and my eyeballs preferring the tamed magenta cast.Yakushima wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2026 2:21 pm Very disappointing and a missed opportunity, but very on brand for Imprint. I am still buying the set for the more obscure films and the extras, but no more Imprint pre-orders for me going forward, no matter how sexy their announcements look!

Re: Imprint
That's great. It's just frustrating that The Last Seduction UHD set is over $100. I like the movie and want to own it, but I'm also not that rich!

Re: Imprint
Fair enough, still, like I said expecting them to one-up Eureka and Criterion is a tough ask. And even there this collection in scope is well beyond what either of those labels attempted. Let’s see how the extras shake out, but the book looks handsome at least.Yakushima wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2026 5:29 pm Their stellar The Last Seduction UHD and some interesting original extras in several other releases got my hopes up that Imprint is finally turning the corner and begins to distinguish itself as a serious label.
