dir. Jonathan Demme
S-Tier Sony 4K. Demme's 1993 AIDS drama with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Sony's 4K has a massive subtitle language list. Thin dedicated collector discussion around the 4K disc specifically, though the film regularly appears in collection photos.

S-Tier transfer of what might be the greatest concert film ever made. A24 priced the 4K at $50+ USD with $30 USD shipping to Canada, which did not go over well. The feeling across collector circles is that A24 treats their catalog like merch drops instead of home video. The disc itself sounds incredible though, and the Atmos mix might actually be the reason to own it. The grain resolves better than the Blu-ray and more than one person has said the disc beats their local IMAX. Barnes and Noble and Walmart carry it if the A24 shop is showing out of stock.

Arrow Video S-Tier 4K. The Arrow UK release is the definitive edition and the French steelbook went up for preorder around the same time. Hopkins' Lecter scenes get even more unsettling with the higher resolution.

A-Tier Cinematographe 4K. Jonathan Demme's 1988 mob comedy with Michelle Pfeiffer. VS released this under their Cinematographe label, and first impressions are positive.
