Eraserhead finally got a 4K and it came out of Germany from Arthaus, StudioCanal's classics label. The consensus from owners is that this is the closest thing to a reference Eraserhead you can get at home, with cleaner near-black handling than the Criterion Blu-ray. There's one quirk at the 31-minute mark, a dark spot on Henry's wall that turns out to be in the 4K DCP itself, not a disc error. Collectors still expect Criterion to follow with a domestic 4K, and the import-vs-wait debate is active, but the Arthaus disc is the one you actually play.

StudioCanal's 4K release of Franck Dubosc's crime comedy is a Region B import through Rare Waves with no confirmed North American distributor. StudioCanal's recent 4K encodes have been technically strong even when the films themselves fly under the radar.

StudioCanal is bringing Roger Moore's only serious dramatic role to 4K this month. It's a genuinely strange identity thriller that most people only know from Moore completist circles, and the pre-order suggests limited availability outside the UK.

Brando's prequel to The Innocents is one of Michael Winner's stranger detours, and StudioCanal giving it a standalone 4K release is unexpected. The film leans harder into the psychosexual tension that Clayton's version only implied.

StudioCanal 4K announcement. There was a minor debate about whether Ealing comedies need 4K at all, which predictably turned into a defence of the format itself. Film Movement's US distribution deal with Vinegar Syndrome could mean a Region A release eventually.
