Yves Montand movies available on 4K Blu-ray, ranked by transfer quality.
dir. Claude Berri
S-Tier Criterion 4K. Collectors keep comparing it to There Will Be Blood and Killers of the Flower Moon. The two-part set with Manon of the Spring runs about 4.5 hours total. Pure misanthropy disguised as a period drama.
Criterion Collection · 4K + Blu-ray
S-Tier Criterion 4K. The second half of the Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring pair, and lots of people think it's even better than the first. Always bought as part of the set, so the collector conversation lives under Jean de Florette.
dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot
In a run-down South American town, four men are paid to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin into the jungle through to the oil field. Friendships are tested and rivalries develop as they embark upon the perilous journey.
dir. Jean-Pierre Melville
A-Tier Criterion 4K. Melville's heist film, with the final safe-cracking sequence being the showcase. Often described as a time capsule of 70s France that happens to also be a solid thriller.
