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.

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. :?
