Source #1: Criterion USA Blu-ray (video, audio, subtitles, chapters) - thanks TMT!
Source #2: MoC PAL DVD (audio, commentary, subtitles)
Included unfiltered audio from MoC, which is more detailed and sounds fuller than Criterion's usual filtered-to-death track. Unfortunately, the audio elements for this film appear to be in rough shape, and there's has quite a bit of audible distortion, especially on louder portions like the score. None of the options sound very good, so pick whichever you find more tolerable.
The 2011 NTSC DVD is from the same mastering as MoC, but it appears to have gone through additional lossy processing, with a sharp lossy shelf well below the usual AC-3 threshold. The NTSC disc also ported the MoC commentary, but the introduction naming the label has been very poorly cut.
Audio comparisons: Samples, Spectrograms
Included subtitles from both Criterion and Masters of Cinema, as they're different translations.
