since these particular steels seem to have a crap flaky finish that peels off in my experience
Better this than these horrendously looking, titleless Steelbooks with poorly cropped original poster art and crappy finish.
 
Sweet. So does this mean I no longer need pick up the criterion? Any tech bods able to confirm it’s the same transfer or not?
 
Would have preferred the lush purple background instead of the black. I'm so wary of faded, streaky finishes on black backgrounds.
I suppose a title was too much to hope for then :hilarious:

Oh well. At least it's mostly 3/4 of the poster art.
Strike this as a win...so far at least.

I’m happy with it and I hope this means I can skip the criterion if it it’s got the same transfer but I also wish the black was purple

I'd near enough guarantee it'll be Criterion's master Their's was of the International cut only as well, and it was created using 35mm prints provided by WB. I'd imagine the encode will differ though, and the extras are obviously different.

Best base scenario steel there. I really hope it's spot gloss, as that'll be a bit of a streaky mess if WB just go with matte.
