You still insist on spouting this nonsense don't you? Doubtless like all your other "reviews" where you haven't actually seen/heard the product in question.
Here are the technical specs for the Criterion disc. Note one subtly highligted word....
"This new digital restoration, supervised by Grover Crisp, was created in 4K resolution at Sony Pictures Entertainment. The original 35mm three-strip Technicolor negatives were scanned at Cineric in New York on the facility's proprietary 4K high-dynamic-range wet-gate film scanner. An earlier photochemical restoration -- by Sony Pictures Entertainment, the British Film Institute, and the Academy Film Archive, with the participation of Jack Cardiff -- was used as a color reference. The original monaural soundtrack was remastered from a 35mm nitrate variable-density optical soundtrack print at Deluxe Audio Services in Hollywood, using the iZotope mastering suite in addition to Capstan for music wow.
Restoration supervisor: Grover Crisp.
Consultant: Thelma Schoonmaker.
Colorist: Sheri Eisenberg/Deluxe Culver City, CA.
Digital restoration: L'Immagine Ritrovata, Bologna, Italy; additional digital restoration was performed at Deluxe and MTI Film, Hollywood.

And here are the technical specs for the ITV release...
"A Matter of Life and Death was restored in 4K by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Inspection, repair and 4K scanning of the 35mm Nitrate 3-Strip Technicolor Picture Negative by Cineric, Inc., New York. Soundtrack restored from the 35mm Nitrate Variable Density Optical Soundtrack Negative at Deluxe Audio, Hollywood. Digital image restoration by L’Immagine Ritrovato, Bologna, Italy and MTI Film, Hollywood. Digital conforming, color grading, additional image restoration, DCP and UHD at Deluxe Culver City with colorist Sheri Eisenberg."
It's the same bloody master used for both. The only way the Criterion release is "superior" is that it has a few more extras. The image quality is exactly the same on both. All of which you have previously been told on another thread, the first time you came out with this nonsense.
