Do I get native 4K Ultra HD?

Yes. Besson's now-classic genre piece was produced just before the turn of the millennium, so it should come as no surprise to film enthusiasts that both its production and post-production were entirely analog. Because of this, it was possible to return to the original 35mm negatives—which is exactly what StudioCanal recently did. On 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, we are treated to a transfer sourced from a brand-new 4K master. You can expect nothing less than the absolute technical maximum of what the source film elements can offer. The Ultra HD Blu-ray delivers a presentation that, in terms of fine detail, color reproduction, sharpness, and grain structure, is the closest possible representation of what the filmmakers themselves saw during post-production. Not only that, but thanks to HDR, the Ultra HD Blu-ray visually surpasses what audiences could experience in theaters at the time of its premiere. We are therefore getting the definitive, best-looking version of the film in history, and it will likely never look better than this—the format truly extracts the absolute maximum from the source materials.
