A River Called Titas (1973)

The Criterion blu-ray sounds a lot more muffled than the audio that was on the Criterion Hulu stream a few years ago. Both are sourced from the same World Cinema Project restoration, but the Hulu had yet to be hit with 'additional restoration'. The Hulu is weirdly missing a 35-second segment - the end of a song, which fades out early (00:04:03.000 - blu-ray timecode).

The Criterion blu-ray is also a lossy transcode, for what it's worth. (Not that it being lossless would reverse the additional filtering applied to it.)
