Concorde Blu-ray Brown-arama


Does anyone like or otherwise appreciate the uniform, brown hue of the latest Blu-ray (from Concorde) of Dogville? Here's a typical frame from the dvd:

I didn't see Dogville on release at a movie theater, but the blinding white of backdrops & the silvery, shot-on-digital-video look of the dvd image always seemed right to me & to correspond to the very Brechtian, stage-set strategy of the film.

Now compare the dipped-in-brown, Concorde Blu-ray version of the same frame:

I find this strange and, finally, unendurable: for me Dogville isn't worth watching when it's color-mangled like this.

What does everyone else think? Can anyone who saw Dogville projected in a theater in 2003 confirm that the blu-ray's color scheme is askew relative to their memories?

Thank god we’re finally getting a blu of this. Yeah that brown don’t look right at all. Are you sure that’s from the Concorde blu?
