A-Tier

The BFI 4K is the version collectors are buying while everyone else waits for a Criterion Kurosawa box that may or may not happen. Kurosawa's Macbeth adaptation with Mifune at full intensity, and the fog sequences are exactly the kind of high-contrast material that rewards a good restoration.
