Janus Films

Earlier this year I saw the restoration at the Film Forum. It looked excellent. Wouldn’t surprise me that this is on the docket

[Lowry_Sam]

That'd be a left-field upgrade!

There are a few 4k restos that haven't been upgraded yet. I imagine Criterion probably sits on these, particularly if the blu-rays are still available, and rolls them out to fill what might otherwise be a slow month.

Janus acquires The Dreamed Adventure, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes, for a fall release

[criterionsnob]

They also have Gandahar, which hopefully means a complete René Laloux 4K set in the near future.

I like how it's credited to "Bigas Luna and Bigas Luna" like he's starring in a remake of The Parent Trap.

Never expected them to go all in on K. Kurosawa like this. Wish they (or someone) could liberate Bright Future and Doppelgänger from whatever rights situation they're in. They've both been on the Channel.

This will open at Lincoln Center and IFC in NYC in August, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa will be doing Q&A's at both locations.
