I'm pretty stunned that no one has addressed the issue yet (as far as I'm aware).
Personally, I think it hasn't been addressed by anyone because there's nothing to address. Lynch was pretty clear back when the first DVD came out, and I don't think anything has changed since then.

As for DVDBeaver, considering that they usually go out of the way to include as much nudity as possible in the screenshots, I'm actually really surprised that this wasn't one of them.
Yeah, actually, that's kind of what I was getting at too. I didn't even check the DVDBeaver screen caps, but had there been one, someone would have posted it here.
My guess is, since the shot is blurred (as it will always be), DVDBeaver didn't want to post it because:
1. Nobody wants a blurry screen cap
2. There are people who will lose their shit over this and cancel their pre-orders. All for something that shouldn't even be noticed anyway.

Well, this is DVDTalk. That said Harring was a perfect 10 in those days!

Well for one thing, no reviewer has said whether it's there or not. We all assume it is, but it seems strange for the reviews not to acknowledge it. Also, given that this is a brand new master, it would be interesting to know how the blurring was applied. The dvd blurring is fairly blocky and distracting if your brightness is turned up too high. I would assume the effect to be more subtle in the new master. Again, I don't really care. I'm just surprised it hasn't been mentioned anywhere given the (misplaced from my point of view) interest in the subject.

She's Mexican.

Yeah, it did take all of two replies before somebody asked about it here.

Back on topic, MD is a top 10 film for me. Those wishing to go down the MD rabbit hole should check out:

Seriously. I'd kill for a proper screening of LH.

Is this the same 4K master that Criterion has already used, or a new one?
This past August, the BBC polled over 177 film critics around the globe to determine the best films of the 21st Century so far and David Lynch’s 2001 film “Mulholland Drive” topped the list. The oneiric film follows an aspiring actress (Naomi Watts) and an amnesiac woman (Laura Harring) as they journey through Los Angeles searching for clues amidst the dreams. Now, 16 years after the film’s premiere, “Mulholland Drive” will return to UK theaters in a new 4K restoration, supervised by Lynch himself.
Seems weird that he'd supervise another transfer, since he supervised the Criterion one, but this article is vague about the details.

And come on... we need Lost Highway now!

I'm about 90 percent sure this is the exact same transfer...as that hasn't been released in the UK yet. The biggest news here is that this seems to confirm the rumor that Showtime is airing those new "Twin Peaks" episodes in May.

"Oneiric"? That Indiwire writer needs to put the thesaurus away.
