Hopefully this will drop in price at some point. Pretty niche film so it can see it staying in stock for a while.

Watching my copy currently, in DV on my Panasonic 65GZ2000 OLED via the UB820 for reference. Over halfway through now and there seems to be a constant "flashing" to the image throughout... it's like the TV screen is blinking at me lol

Anyone else notice this? Source material or bunk disc?

For me it played fine, in HDR10 though, I do not have DV capabilities.

Might have to try it on my setup upstairs, which is hdr10 only. Plausible it's only the DV layer. I'd prefer it to be a bunk disc though because I typically favour DV content if I'm honest.
