Re: Madame de...
A screening of a "Gaumont restoration" was also announced in the Cannes classics lineup today - presumably this is the same new restoration.

Re: Madame de...
It's surprising it's only now getting a Cannes Classics slot while it was restored in 2013.

Its star's recent 100th birthday may have been a catalyst.

Re: Madame de...
The Cannes site suggests it's part of a Danielle Darrieux birthday tribute. She's 100 this month.

Re: Madame de...
That actually looks okay given that it's likely the same scan as before.

The BFI was well aware of this film's troubled BD release history.

Re: Madame de...
This is only a minor change but I do like the look of the BFI disc quite a bit better than the Gaumont. Triple-dipping at some point this year.

Re: Madame de...
I suppose that Gaumont won't licensed ever again their first restoration. I'd be surprised if they even kept it somewhere.MichaelB wrote:The BFI was well aware of this film's troubled BD release history.
However, it seems like they still have 2 restored masters commissioned : one degrained (used on the French disc) and one untouched (used by the BFI). It's a shame, I thought they discontinued that. (or maybe it's an encode question ?)
