The Lure arrives on Blu-ray with a stunning 1080p transfer in its original 2.39:1 aspect ratio, featuring impressive sharpness and rich colors that excel in both vibrant cabaret scenes and darker, intricate underwater-themed visuals. Color correction was performed in 2K, ensuring remarkable detail and depth throughout.

Audio: 79

The Blu-ray's Polish DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track delivers a clean, sharp, and dynamic range, especially excelling in musical numbers with robust bass and vocal clarity. Dialogue is clear and well-integrated, though the sound mix leans front-heavy with occasional ambient reverb.

Extra: 66

Extras for 'The Lure' Blu-ray include a revealing 42-minute production documentary, two early shorts by director Agnieszka Smoczynska, useful deleted scenes with alternate openings and endings, the original trailer, and an insightful illustrated booklet with technical credits and an essay by Angela Lovell.

Movie: 86

The Lure is a wildly imaginative film set in 1980s Warsaw, blending mermaid folklore with horror, burlesque, and avant-garde musical elements. Agnieszka Smoczynska's debut feature is bold and entrancing, showcasing her ability to make the absurd genuine. Criterion's Blu-ray release offers rich supplemental features.
