I don't see anything mentioning these as new restorations, but assuming the website stills are accurate representations of the restorations and what will eventually be on disc, they don't appear to be the same masters as the German BDs:

Looks like there was a French release from Wild Side last year that also included the 1938 versions.

FM isn’t really going to release these separately, are they?

The news item on br.com says recent 4k restorations.

The br.com news post just says BD info will come later, not whether they'll be separate releases... but I certainly hope they won't be. They're separate admissions at the Film Forum screening, if that's indicative of anything...

And I swear br.com didn't say they were 4k restorations at first. But it was late—maybe I just missed it. Definitely didn't see it mentioned anywhere on the FM site's pages for them...

No mention of the previous 1938 versions included on the French release.

[What A Disgrace]

I was so proud of myself for not partaking of the Black Friday festivities, and then this happens.

[nitin]

Do they ship internationally?

[yoloswegmaster]

They only ship in the U.S.

[nitin]

Thanks, had my eye on quite a few but will have to skip it.
