Kino Lorber’s 4K UHD Blu-ray of 'Le Doulos' showcases an exceptional native 4K restoration by StudioCanal, with outstanding delineation, clarity, and depth, excellent grayscale, and minimal specks. Though standard SDR without Dolby Vision or HDR, the fine detail and stunning contrast make it a must-have for fans and 4K enthusiasts.

The original French DTS-HD MA 2.0 audio track offers clean and sharp sound with lovely depth and proper balance, though some dialogue can occasionally be boxy, likely due to source limitations. Peaks such as gunshots are well-handled without overload. Optional English subtitles are available.

Kino Lorber's 4K UHD and Blu-ray release of 'The Informer' boasts engaging extras, including two insightful audio commentaries by critic Samm Deighan, a detailed interview with Volker Schlondorff on Melville’s work, and an in-depth program on the film's visual style, enriched by a selection of related trailers.
