Is this movie planned or announced for a blu-ray release ? There is nothing about it in France - it has been released on DVD.
Perhaps KINO ? but I see nothing in blu-ray.com news. (and contrary to the V.Zurlini movie, I did not see some documents about a restoration of this movie)

Just discovered this and am really surprised it's shown up online, seemingly out of nowhere. It's the Hiventy 4K restoration that was released to European theaters in November 2019 by Théâtre du Temple. No idea if a BD release is planned, but certainly hope so. At nearly 107 minutes it's about 4 minutes longer than any version I know of. (The Italian cut runs approx 100 minutes and the French one is approx 103.) Haven't watched much yet so no idea what may have been restored scene-wise, but the image and sound quality certainly are an improvement on what I've encountered before.

Film Heritage Foundation is delighted to announce that we have partnered with Martin Scorsese’s The Film Foundation and Cineteca di Bologna to restore the legendary Indian filmmaker G. Aravindan’s classic “Kummatty” (1979), which will be premiered at the Il Cinema Ritrovato festival in Bologna later this month. It was a challenging restoration as none of the original camera negatives of his films survive. Thank you to the National Film Archive of India for preserving the prints of the film that were the source elements for the restoration. It was FHF’s dream to restore this film and give it a new life.

This isn't new, the 4k restoration has been released on BD in 2019 by Shout in the US and 2020 by Eureka in the UK.

Didn't The 400 Blows just have its 4K restoration premiered at Il Cinema Ritrovato?

#ASeasonofClassicFilms continues with restored film Ung flukt (Edith Carlmar 1959), a teen rebellion drama with Liv Ullmann in her debut role.

The film will be available to watch online for free from 26/08 - 2/09, with English subtitles. If you are in Oslo, do not miss the opportunity to visit Cinemateket i Oslo and grab one of the free seats in the special screening on 25/08 at 18:00 introduced by Curator Hege Jaer.

The film's digital restoration was carried out by the National Library of Norway in 2018 and has drawn attention internationally to the work of Edith Carlmar, the number one female director in Norwegian post-war cinema. Carlmar was not only Norway’s first female director, but she made what is considered to be the country’s first film noir (Death Is a Caress). She directed ten films in ten years and Ung flukt is her last feature film.

A Season of Classic Films is an initiative of the Association des Cinémathèques Européennes (ACE) with the support of Creative Europe to raise awareness of the work of national and regional film archives, connecting the public with cinema history and the preservation of film heritage. Twenty-two European film institutions are taking part this year offering free access to films from their precious collections. This screening is organised by Cinemateket / The Norwegian Film Institute Cinemateket i Oslo.
