Pros and cons

Pros

The listed restoration and commentary, interviews and printed material offer added context for viewers interested in the film’s production and cinematography.
Customer feedback describes the visuals and cinematography positively, which is relevant to a film whose presentation is a key part of its appeal.

Cons

This is listed as a Blu-ray edition, so it is not the 4K UHD release referenced elsewhere in the listing.
