Hiroshima mon amour (1959) - Blu-ray Forum

AaronJ · 06-17-2014, 04:14 PM

According to Indiewire, Rialto has a new 4K release of Resnais' "Hiroshima mon amour" scheduled for October.

Unfortunately, there's no extra information beyond that.

We should hopefully get a Criterion release of it in 2015.

We can only hope. I have the DVD, and it's certainly a good release. But I'd like to see what they could do with a 4K Blu-Ray.

This thread is more suited for the film section

Oct. is the date for theatrical re-release.

Good point. Sometimes I lose track of where I am.

Excellent news!

Excellent news! I have really been meaning to see this movie, but I've never gotten around to picking up the DVD.

Here's to hoping it plays near me.

It's definitely an adventure, that's for sure.

Make sure you get some sleep the night before.

A critic and author Tim Page has posted an image of himself being interviewed for the upcoming blu-ray release of Hiroshima mon Amour on his facebook page. It will be a 'deluxe reissue' according to him, and it will be released in the summer!

I wrote an essay on Hiroshima mon amour, not so long ago. A beautiful and complex masterpiece.

Saw this opening day when it was rereleased in the fall - got to experience first-hand the awkward shuffling out of a theater after a complex, open-to-interpretation french new wave ending. Will definitely pick up.

The 4K restoration has been out on Blu-ray in France for some time now. It is stunning

Happy day indeed. The last of my ABSOLUTELY, MUST HAVE films to be restored and released on blu-ray. I'll never forget the power and influence my first viewing of this film had on me, and I have a feeling this new restoration will be just as memorable.

BobbyMcGee · 03-18-2015, 05:59 AM

I usually wait for a sale to buy Criterion films but this will be a day one purchase. Absolutely adore this film. A masterpiece by Alain Resnais. Glad to hear it is getting the "deluxe" treatment, much deserved.

I first saw this movie as part of an assignment for a film class and was absolutely enamored with it.

RobertLuketic · 04-15-2015, 10:35 PM

Can't wait!

javi92 · 04-16-2015, 12:40 AM

Man I can't wait for this disc. Absolute day 1 for me, and I'm sure it will be a real stunner in 4k.

harpolini · 04-16-2015, 02:08 AM

I hope it comes bundled with the screenplay like the Picnic at Hanging Rock(Novel) release. It's such a wonderfully unconventional and beautifully written screenplay.

I often thumb through my copy.
