Persona (1966)

Between the StudioCanal and Criterion blu-rays: The Criterion generally has more noise reduction applied to it, but StudioCanal used some other filtering carelessly, attenuating the sound of wind in outdoor scenes. At times, the StudioCanal track sounds wonderful and much more vibrant than the Criterion track.

Also, it's possible that Criterion boosted the high frequencies a bit on theirs (in addition to the noise reduction -- a terrible combination), so the track sounds extremely bright overall. Oh well.
