Reviews on Letterboxd and elsewhere state that Jackson asked the audience to stand for the God Save The Queen intro, which was only on uncut
Braindead prints, not
Dead Alive in either R-rated or unrated form. Of course, that doesn’t stop him from having made further changes…
Since we were speaking of soundtrack clearances on the other thread, I have my fingers crossed that whatever happens the film will still be able to include the Archers theme playing on the radio during the initial zombie mother attack sequence in Braindead! That's definitely important for the comedic value of that scene!

It’s amazing that the original New Zealand release-version of Heavenly Creatures has never been seen again since 1994. Presumably, that’s the cut he’ll also be restoring in 4K

What is the difference between the 109-minute cut of Heavenly Creatures that Lionsgate (licensed from Miramax) released on Blu-ray and the original New Zealand release?

More great news! I gave up on an English friendly blu-ray of Those Who Love Me Can Take The Train over a decade ago. Maybe there’s still hope.

One of my most-hoped-for rescues. This year has already given me

Well that's a start, but I would've thought
Jesus Of Montreal &
The Decline Of The American Empire would've garnered some attention by now. I picked up
Barbarian Invasions in the early days of blu-ray, but it could probably use an upgrade.
A few more I'd love to see:
Laurent Cantet:
Time Out/
L'emploi du temps
Human Resources/
Resources Humaines
Francois Ozon:
8 femmes UHD or at least a blu-ray with English subtitles (with at least some of the extras from the 3-disc special edition)
Andre Techine:
J'embrasse pas
Ma saison préférée
Emilie Deleuze:
Peau Neuve
Denis Villenue:
Maelstrom
Un 32 août sur terre
Cosmos
Sébastien Lifshitz:
Presque Rien
Christian Faure:
Un amour à taire

Heavenly Creatures restoration was screened last year. I don’t know what’s happened to it since.

4K restorations of both
Decline of the American Empire and
Jesus of Montreal have screened in the last few years. Canadian cinema in general is just horribly neglected, even within Canada

Just seeing this great news. Of these, I've only seen
Madhumati as I was going through a series of reincarnation films, one of those depressing experiences where you could see that the film was beautiful and atmospheric and had survived as anything but. Criterion will take an eternity to dribble them to disc, if they ever even bother, but the hope they might land and stay on the channel to stream (and without a watermark!) is good enough for now.

It may have changed, but the initial word on the Bimal Roy titles was that the films' rightsholder kept the streaming rights. If that is still the case, then I'd expect Criterion to get them out on disc faster than they normally do.

Thanks. Can't imagine we'll get a box from this, though there is the Sembène/Widerberg/Zetterling route. Because Janus is involved, I guess the FHF-Second Run connection's out.

Madhumati stars Vyjayanthimala who is the most underrated actress of all time in my eyes. She’s insanely good in Amrapali from 1966 which I saw on Netflix and might still be on there.
