I'm quite sure this is the same restoration that premiered as part of Venice Classics 2019. I gave up waiting for Criterion to release it and picked up the French Blu-ray recently. Looks good, the disc is region B locked, but the French subtitles are thankfully not forced (can be turned off).

Umbrellas of Cherbourg, new resto with three-track stereo on magnetic tape, period foley on 35mm magnetic tape and what probably is a live three-track recording of the orchestra only, all newly re-found elements (see p. 3 and 26 onwards):

A Season of Classic Films 2024
The Man Who Thought Life sounds like a very interesting film if I’m being honest, seems like my kind of vibe. Can anyone verify if this is a good movie?

I had no idea that Benito Cereno had ever been adapted into a film. Looks interesting!

Amazing to finally see this get a theatrical release, and it doesn’t appear to have received the same revisionist bullshit treatment Oshii gave to Ghost in the Shell

Fantastic news! I've long wanted a good edition of this since picking up In The Aftermath: Angels Never Sleep, which took Oshii's original allegorical anime source material as raw material to intersperse throughout its own live action post-nuclear apocalypse set film. To the extent that I was debating on picking up the Japanese Blu-ray that came out a number of years ago, especially because aside from a couple of gnomic discussions (mostly Biblical ones) it is a film that contains very little dialogue. But with this being a new restoration this will presumably be the edition to hold out for.

(Hopefully Avalon might get a good restoration/Blu-ray upgrade next)

Oh my god at last! And with the director's supervision. I really can't believe it especially after only seeing it on YouTube or various clips on Tumblr. I'm glad this is getting the recognition it deserves in Oshii's lifetime.

I'm really hoping we see as royal of treatment for that as we did for Pomegranates, with the two excellent US and UK releases with totally differering (but essential) extras. Daniel Bird's involvement there gives me some hope, and hopefully jsteffe and Tony Rayns are involved too in some way, among others. just having the film in great quality will be exciting enough, but there's so much to dig into with it!

Ukrainian really does look even more like Polish once it's transliterated into Latin letters, I must say
