Title Best
Tokyo Drifter (Tôkyô nagaremono) (Madman)R4
    The North American Criterion release of 1999 is coded for Region 0. The widescreen transfer is not 16x9 enhanced, and picture quality is reportedly quite sharp. A 20 minute interview with the director is included.

    Judging by screen shots I have viewed, ours seems comparable to the Region 2 release by Yume Pictures (even down to the stretched image). The transfers seem identical, however, the Region 2 is an unsightly NTSC conversion.

    The local product will suffice I think, until Criterion decide to offer a remastered version of their title. Likewise, if you already own the Criterion this release doesn't necessarily represent an upgrade.
