DVD-Compare - Lost In Translation

Lost in Translation highlight dvd Germany RC2 Universal USA RC1 Universal Australia RC4
The transfers are identical in framing, color, contrast and brightness. The German transfer was slightly softened to reduce the grain, thereby losing some picture detail (e.g. Murray's forehead in pic#1) and occasionally displaying block artefacts in the background (pic#5). The US transfer shows more distinct edge enhancement (pic#2, pic#4) and some greenish pixel noise (pic#3). The Australian transfer is minimally more detailed than the US transfer (skyscraper windows in pic#3). The blue and darker tones differ from the coloring of the theatrical presentation but were approved by director Sophia Coppola for the dvd releases. See here a comparison between the unfiltered theatrical trailer and the blue filtered dvd transfers.
