Know it's been a bit since I've completed a custom BD, but I'm looking at doing Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995) as one of my next projects. It's one of my favorite films of all time, and I'd love to preserve it in the most theatrically faithful quality possible.
The Criterion release is wonderful, but I'm a bit skeptical about the color grading and contrast. Everything looks rather flat and a bit magenta-hued to my eyes, as if it was just scanned from an IP without extensive alteration. In fact, the overall color timing is more or less like the DVD for better or worse. But, unfortunately, I don't know for certain what the film looked like in cinemas, and I've never had the pleasure of seeing a 35mm print.
Does anyone have any experience with the film in 35mm? Anything helps, as I'm working completely blind here. If you've got photos from an old eBay auction, trailer cels, or even a particular cogent recollection of a screening , please post in the thread!

(I also have no idea how the international home video releases of this movie are like, so, if you know of one with radically different timing, it might be of use!)
Thanks everyone!
