Volver(2006)

7.5/10

dir. Pedro Almodóvar

The 4K only exists as part of the 11-film Sony Pictures Classics 30th Anniversary Collection. No standalone release is on the schedule, so anyone who just wants Volver has to buy the whole box. It's a native 4K with Dolby Vision, and the Dolby Vision grade has been singled out for how it handles Almodóvar's reds.

Pan's Labyrinth(2006)

7.8/10

dir. Guillermo del Toro

C-Tier Announced

C-Tier Warner Bros. 4K, but the Criterion Blu-ray is widely considered the better transfer because del Toro approved a new color grade for it. The 4K Warner release went back to an older color grade similar to the original Blu-ray. At $10 USD on sale at Best Buy, it's cheap enough to try both and decide for yourself.

7.8/10

dir. Satoshi Kon

C-Tier

C-Tier Sony 4K. Satoshi Kon's dream-invasion anime, and the 4K announcement was huge for anime collectors. People immediately asked for Perfect Blue next. The steelbook looked great, though one person's Amazon copy arrived pre-damaged. Nolan's Inception gets compared to this constantly. The C-Tier suggests the transfer didn't get the full treatment it deserved.

Inland Empire(2006)

dir. David Lynch

Lynch shot Inland Empire on a Sony PD150 in standard definition in 2006, intentionally lo-fi and grainy. Criterion's 2023 Blu-ray drew the predictable "no 4K?" complaints from people who didn't read about the source material. The 4K UHD is now on the way from Criterion, sourced from the same Lynch-supervised remaster, with no release date set. It will be an upscale of a digital format that was already low-resolution when it was new. The 4K disc is a completist purchase.
