1) Tartan - Region 0 - PAL - LEFT

2) Criterion - Region 0- NTSC - SECOND

The Criterion Blu-ray of Smiles of a Summer Night is part of their Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema 100th Anniversary 30 Blu-ray Boxset (reviewed, as a work in-progress, HERE). It is one of the few that is exactly the same as the original Criterion Blu-ray release with exactly the same file size and bitrate for the main feature. It has the exact same extras and audio as well. The only variance is the menu screen (see below) which are why the overall disc size is slightly different. It is Region FREE where the original was Region 'A'-locked.

ADDITION: (April 2011) Criterion - Region 'A' - Blu-ray: The only comparative issue with the Blu-ray is that the 2004 Criterion DVD was so strong. So the Blu-ray looks great but doesn't excel as demonstratively over the SD counterparts as we have seen in past examples. It's improvement in grain visibility and other visual film-like qualities will depend more on the capabilities of your system or your discerning eye. I suspect that many would be hard-pressed to differentiate. The DVD had some, but not a preponderance, of noise and, predictably, the 1080P transfer has less.

The audio is lossless through the Blu-ray  with a fine linear PCM mono track at 1152 kbps but like the video you would have to really focus on the attributes to identify a strong improvement over the 7-year older NTSC DVD. Typically, the Criterion offers optional English subtitles on their region 'A'-locked disc.

Extras are the same as the previous Criterion disc with the 4-minute video introduction to the film by director Ingmar Bergman from his studio at Faro Island, then there is an excellent 15-minute video conversation between Bergman scholar Peter Cowie and writer Jörn Donner, executive producer of Fanny and Alexander, an original theatrical trailer and the 26-page liner notes booklet featuring an essay by theater and film critic John Simon and a 1961 review by film critic Pauline Kael.

The Blu-ray is only a dollar more than the corresponding Criterion DVD (at the writing of this review) and is surely worth more than that but those who already own the SD edition should judge based on their sensitivity to the audio/visual improvements or how fervent their adoration of the film. There is no question that it looks and sounds better - but the degree is not as significant a superiority as we have seen from the upgraded  format in the past. First time owners of the film for home theater usage shouldn't hesitate in picking up the Criterion - another Bergman classic.
