Lee Chang-dong´s Poetry now remastered in 4K:

Perhaps a box set including the black and white version would be a good fit for Radiance?

I retract the statement about Poetry in B&W. I misremembered, was probably thinking about Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, which has a "fade to white" version:

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
This is tempting, but since this is a standard Blu-ray-only release, I'll probably hold off. Anyone compare this with the original Blu-ray release? That one still looks great and since the film came out 2010/2011 (the scan was probably done in 2010 while the Blu-ray was released in the U.S. in 2011), I'm not sure how much of an upgrade a new Blu-ray could be.Stefan Andersson wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 5:31 pmLee Chang-dong´s Poetry now remastered in 4K:

Maybe you were thinking of Mother, which definitely has a fully black and white version (and this has been released on BluRay.)Stefan Andersson wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 6:31 amHi!Blip Martindale wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 12:58 amBlack and white version of Poetry?

My US copy of Allonsanfan has a “made in Poland” sticker on it… how can that possibly be cheaper that pressing them at least on the North American continent?

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Could be that Fran wasn't prepared to put up with the scratches that discs seem to suffer at the Mexican plant. Maybe the Polish plant has super competitive rates?

Hi zedz, thank you very much for this! Now I remember, it was indeed Mother I was thinking of.zedz wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 5:42 pmMaybe you were thinking of Mother, which definitely has a fully black and white version (and this has been released on BluRay.)Stefan Andersson wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 6:31 amHi!

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
I assume what happens is since Radiance’s discs are AB Locked they probably don’t need another pressing company to make Region A suitable discs since they already have suitable ones prepared and as a UK company it is possible that to them, it would be cheaper to get them from Poland rather than from Mexico, where as Finch pointed out, often put out scratched discs anyway. Though that’s just what I think happened.domino harvey wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 5:55 pmMy US copy of Allonsanfan has a “made in Poland” sticker on it… how can that possibly be cheaper that pressing them at least on the North American continent?

According to the ad in the new Sight and Sound, upcoming films include work by Vittorio de Seta - whom I don't remember previously being announced.

I guess this confirms BOO is most likely Bandits of Orgosolo.

very likely that'd be announced tomorrow actually, judging where that is on the hint sheet. if it ends up including all the shorts, that's gonna be a behemoth of an edition

I’ve been considering ordering the French edition of Bandits of Orgoloso for months. I’d be very happy to get it with English subs and the shorts, and from Radiance too!

Updated the clues masterlist. The mystery of the Bunuel title remains, and we never had any good guesses for SMPO.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
There is a bonus clue at the bottom of the newsletter, "Next month the bride wears white".
That's Mississippi Mermaid, right? The Bride Wore Black is another Truffaut film, but the bride wears white in this one.
I now realise there were bonus clues for Mocky and Shinobi in the last two newsletters, and in the bundle reminder e-mails too.

Have the bundle discounts ending/beginning days always overlapped?

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
I hope the film has better supplements than The Bride Wore Black, which was very light.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
This might be of interest to Radiance:
Tamasa Films in France have Chabrol´s Les Bonnes Femmes, Nelly Kaplan´s La Fiancee du Pirate and three other films starring Bernadette Lafont. The online trailer clips look restored, with a bit of Hiventy/Eclair turquoise/yellow:
https://www.tamasa-cinema.com/film/bern ... domptable/
Tamasa also has 11 Carlos Saura films ("The Rebel Years 1966-1980) on release:
https://www.tamasa-cinema.com/film/carl ... 1966-1980/
On the World Noir front, there is L´Arme à gauche (Sautet/Ventura):
https://www.tamasa-cinema.com/film/arme-a-gauche-l/
These re-releases imply new or newish restorations, and perhaps available rights.
I quite like Sautet´s later dramas, such as Vincent, Paul, Francois et les autres... (starring Montand and Reggiani) and the series with Romy Schneider. These are finely written and acted, but perhaps do not fit in Radiance´s programming. What label might be a good home for these films, and films like them, such as Pierre Granier-Deferre´s and Tavernier´s Simenon adaptations (Le Train, L´Etoile du Nord, Le Chat, L´Horloger de St Paul)? Just a spontaneous reflection.

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
I listened to the commentary on the Kino and actually enjoyed it. was it an amazing track, no, but it certainly helped my appreciation of it a bit. I'd rate it as a good "hangout" track ala the Second Run ones from the Projection Booth. even just porting that would've been very nice, if not a new track. hoping for a stronger Mississippi Mermaid edition for sureWhat A Disgrace wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:33 pmI hope the film has better supplements than The Bride Wore Black, which was very light.
I appreciate that the hints have been pretty spot on - I like having a general idea of what's coming. we got BOO+, MOCK, and SU guessed on this forum and elsewhere. but if SU was the Fukusaku, then what on earth is the Bunuel title going to be???

Maybe Archibaldo de la Cruz but I can't see them burying Bunuel in those sets, especially since they've been mentioning him by name for their future releases

Re: Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist
Buñuel is way too big a name to be put in a boxset like that, unless it's a box of his movies. BUN was a 2023 teaser and more explicitly "Luis Buñuel" was fully written out on the subscriber info this year. I think it's gotta be a standalone release, and maybe miraculously he pulled off licensing some of those Mexican restorations that I'm pleading for someone, anyone to release.
