Am I the only one who prefers this one over that kimchi one?

Your not alone I prefer this to the Kimchi release in terms of steelbook artwork

Kimchi yes has nice goodies and I like their slip box artworks but in terms of the steelbook itself I don't like Kimchi steelbook artwork or the embossing used

well, the piano keys used as a fence is a good idea, but how they realized it in the final artwork, that's a different story.
i will order one anyway, i need something to put into my empty kimchi slipcover. ;)
 
Interesting to see if they use the older bare bones single layer BD25 transfer (Optimum) or the newer superior 50GB transfer with extra features (StudioCanal Collection)...I have a funny feeling they will use this as a way to get rid of the unsold, inferior BD25 discs...

Don't be so cynical mate. I very much doubt if Canal will want to flog the old disc now - after all they didn't with the digibook, so it wouldn't make any sense to do so with the steelbook.

Personally, I like the look of this a lot - it sucessfully conveys the stark bleakness of the subject matter.
 
The keys are reversed? It works on the Korean steel as Brody is playing the piano. Imo, the keys should be the other way around, but that's just me.

Agreed. This artwork looks very amateur-ish imo. Keys look forced and intrusive, not really adding to the image. Plus the colorless black and white makes it "boring" as tono said.
