Some heavy "ringing" going on in those caps, however the French DVD (from where the transfer was sourced) has a much better picture quality than the shoddy Criterion DVD.

are you serious? is it more theatrical-like? could you please show us some screencaps? as I can read and understand french I'll be glad to know it

There are some screen caps in the post you've quoted directly above mine.

OOP, according to the Criterion website. Amazon still has copies in stock. (Mine has shipped.)

Will it be an Optimum port? Probably... :evil:

Yes it will. If I choose to I can select the USA as country of origin on my Oz disc, the disc will then default to Region A and it will start up with the Lionsgate Logo.

If you're in NYC throughout the month of May J&R Music World has a month-old sale for every Criterion in stock. I just came from there and there are about a dozen copies of "Ran" for $24.99 a pop (plus a few OOP Criterion floating around between $20-25: "Contempt," "Le Corbeau," "Variety Lights," etc.). It's not an online sale though so if you or a surrogate can't make it to Gotham and J&R's basement store then you're out of luck.
