MoC mentioned today on Twitter that a 35 mm revival of these films will be screening in New York next month. I don't know if this relates in any way to the restoration that's been going on, which is supposed to lead to an eventual Blu-ray upgrade.

Guess what's coming to Blu-ray in October? Der Tiger von Eschnapur & Das indische Grabmal

MoC upgrade in Q1/Q2? :P

I asked about this 7-8 months ago on Twitter and they said, "Not ruled out, but not in the oven."

My DVD is still sealed and I'd love to see how this looks in HD.

Screenshot comparison between MoC DVD and German Blu-ray for Der Tiger von Eschnapur.

I just saw a German archival print of these two a few months ago and can safely say the German Blu-ray represents colors closer to the print I saw, but that DNR makes it look grossly smoothed over. Look at that last screencap and look at the clear edges of the miniature scale on the bottom of the photo on the Masters of Cinema release and then the waxy, blurred palm trees on the Blu-ray.

Based purely on those screenshots, I prefer the MoC DVD to the Blu-ray.
