Notes:
Criterion used the same scan as the recent Toho (JPN) and BFI (GBR) discs. Unlike BFI, Criterion did not opt to create an HDR grade, only slightly tweaking the original SDR.
The source scan had a large amount of film dirt, and Criterion is the only one who has cleaned it up.
Personally, I prefer the BFI for its grading, but you can't really go wrong here.
BFI Player audio remains the best source, leagues above all the other tracks.
The disc synces with JPN after a simple offset, and so all the assets were reused from the previous remux.
Big thanks to xwmario for his work on that, and especially syncing the main audio track!
Included differently translated subtitles from Criterion and BFI discs. Added missing periods in the BFI track (srt).
