Not just Ginza Cosmetics. Repast also receives a recent 4K restoration.

Great news on the recently restored When a Woman Ascends the Stairs and Scattered Clouds posted in the Recent Film Restorations thread. Here’s hoping for their releases on Blu-ray soon.

I hope all these restorations get (subbed) home video releases. Especially Repast.

I hope all these restorations get (subbed) home video releases. Especially Repast.

And hopefully English friendly. It would be nice if they did them in chronological blocks & release groups in small box sets.

Hopefully Floating Clouds sold well such that BFI would want to release these other Naruse films on Blu-ray. These are excellent films. The Naruse films that I often revisit over the years are: Floating Clouds, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, and Scattered Clouds. To me, Scattered Clouds is the last finest Japanese film made during the Golden era. And up to today, I think only Maborosi has equalled or bettered it.

I am greedy -- as I really want at least 40 (but maybe even 50+) Naruse films readily available in the best form possible.
