Flicker Alley's DVD of Judex is stated as the very first reconstruction of the complete serial. It has some affiliation with the Turner Broadcasting Network where I believe it was first shown.

On Two DVD9 (Dual layered Discs), I found the image to show more damage spots, dust, scratches etc. than I was initially expecting. Distractingly so actually. Although it is difficult being overly critical I think that this transfer image is inferior to the Image Entertainment DVD18's (Dual Side, Dual layerd) of Feuillade's "Les Vampires". I can only assume that the film elements for Judex were in inferior shape to those of "Les Vampires". Judex has moments of great sharpness but is far less consistent in that area than fans might hope.

The intertitle cards, letters, signs etc. look wonderful and obvious work has been put into updated them (see below) for English only audiences. Honestly though, I think I would have preferred the originals in French with optional subtitles. They are so superior to the image that they distract from the 'feel' of watching a silent film. You go from scene with obvious damage to a perfect clean hand holding a card. It simply looks to have been modernized. Personally I think this was a mistake. Perhaps I am being over critical as they do look so exceptionally detailed and expertly done - attempting to maintain the truer attributes of the original intertitles. They look out of place to me.

There are obvious examples of ghosting (see last large capture below) and I strongly suspect that this was taken from a PAL source without conversion prior to digitizing to the DVD. Frames are obviously quite different on a silent film, but it can make the ghosting only that much more predominant.

The tinting seems much more minimal than in "Les Vampires" but is easy to distinguish lighting changes, as its usual intent. I think I prefer Judex with its less flamboyant color shifts (no strong purples or pinks).
