kinuta Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Aquarius - Kleber Mendonca Filho (2016) Picked this up through The Guardian end of the year list. Really good film with terrific central performance by Sonia Braga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Strong Island - Yance Ford (2017) Intense and disconcerting look at the aftermath of a murder. Very well presented and brutally honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 12 hours ago, kinuta said: A Matter Of Life And Death - Powell Pressburger (1946)  There is a new 4K restoration of AMOLAD that is currently starting to make the rounds in a limited theatrical rerelease in the UK (and hopefully, elsewhere, but so far only a New York run has been announced). Early reports are that it is absolutely spectacular, on par with the restorations of THE RED SHOES and THE TALES OF HOFFMANN that have been done in recent years. Lest anyone think this is another one of those instances where a studio simply strikes a new print, slaps a "restored" label on it, and sends it out to the repertory circuit, Post Magazine had a piece about this with some fairly technical details as to exactly what went into the restoration: Restoration: A Matter of Life and Death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article about the restoration prompted me to rewatch the film. I wonder if they are also thinking of doing The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp.

Blimp was done back in 2011 - that restoration is available on Blu-ray via ITV in the UK and Criterion in the US: COLONEL BLIMP - RETURNED IN ALL ITS GLORY Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation has done almost all of the restorations of Powell & Pressburger films - AMOLAD was an exception because Sony holds the rights to that one (at least in the US - not sure about worldwide). Scorsese's longtime editor (and Powell's widow) Thelma Schoonmaker has previously indicated that they are slowly but surely working their way through the Archers' filmography.

I already have that version. It looks fantastic. I was wondering about a 4K remaster. Actually it's just curiosity more than anything. The chances of it, or any other Powell Pressburger, being shown in Tokyo are almost nil. Thank goodness for Blu Ray. Starting Out In The Evening - Andrew Wagner (2007) Roxie Hart - William A.
