Send this back and order the studio canal version from Amazon UK. The quality on this one is lacking. The studio canal is even better than the Criterion, if only slightly.

Just a heads up, StudioCanal did a 4K restoration a few years back, which looks arguably better than the Criterion release. There are a few different releases with the new transfer, but I prefer the French Digibook that you can pick up on amazon.fr for like €12. The transfer was never released in the US, but the French and UK releases are region-free.
In 2015, Studio Canal released a 4K restoration of the film.

Playable in Regions A and B. Looks and sounds great. Has plenty of extras, too. I ordered it from the U.S.
Hope this helps! : )
Region free. 4k restoration. £10

You're thinking of this version, I'm talking about this one.

That's what I posted in the article - or it should have been.
If you really want a copy but don't want to break the bank, you can get the StudioCanal Blu Ray, which has a lot of the same extras as Criterion. There are some exclusive extras to the Criterion version (e.g. the Steven Soderbergh commentary) so if you want to be completionist, you could also get the Criterion version on DVD from somewhere second hand, like eBay or something.
This is the StudioCanal release:

It's region free, although Amazon seems to list as Region B for some reason.
You could get the Criterion DVD for probably around $20 and the above for around $15.
