Good news!

You can add Le Journal intime d'une nymphomane aka Les Inassouvies, still on blu-ray.

Copied from another forum.

From Le Chat Qui Fume's FB page (thanks to Lalala for catching it):

"Front Cover of our DVD / Bluray Edition of the film of Jesus Franco, the devil's possessed (aka Lorna the exorcist) with Lina Romay, Jacqueline Laurent And Pamela Stanford. A world premiere in HD for this film.
This is a title that has been a lot of delay because as we have already said, the film will be a montage between 2 different films... to get to the longest version, and one of it was in a Bad condition. Despite our restoration work there will always be scratches and other small spots. We were also sent the true final scream of lina romay because on the DVD it was the English cry. We had to redo the entire assembly and check it out. But we're nearing the end.
In April, this title will be released in June with the diary of a nymphomane.
To follow..."

LES POSSÉDÉES DU DIABLE de Jess Franco arrive en juillet dans une édition DVD/BLURAY che Le chat qui fume blindée de bonus rares... et voici les spécifications de cette édition qui sera une première mondiale HD pour ce titre.

● 1h35 - 1974 - France - Version intégrale
● Digipack 3 volets avec étui
● BD50 - 1920x1080/23,976p - Encodage AVC / DVD - 16/9 compatible 4/3
● Français et Anglais en DTS-HD MA MONO, sous-titré anglais. (French and English with english removable subtitles)
● Zone All

Bonus:
● JESÚS ET MOI avec Jacqueline Laurent
● PAMELA STANFORD LA POSSÉDÉE DE FRANCO
● FRANCO LE POSSÉDÉ par Alain Petit

Homme d'affaires, Patrick Mariel (Guy Delorme) part en vacances avec sa femme, Marianne, et sa fille Linda (Lina Romay). Vieille amie de Patrick, Lorna Green (Pamela Stanford), arrive juste à temps pour le 18ème anniversaire de Linda dont elle prend possession du corps et de l'âme. Elle ne demande à Patrick que de respecter le contrat qu’ils ont passé 18 ans plus tôt : un contrat de sexe et de sang !

LES POSSÉDÉES DU DIABLE ou LORNA THE EXORCIST est un des films devenus mythiques de Jess Franco parce qu’invisible dans sa version intégrale depuis des décennies. Les négatifs ayant été perdus, la version proposée est celle qui se rapproche le plus de la version souhaitée par le réalisateur. Jesús Franco s’entoure d'interprètes confirmés comme Jacqueline Laurent (La bonzesse, Le Journal intime d’une nymphomane), Guy Delorme (Fantômas contre Scotland Yard) et surtout Pamela Stanford et Lina Romay. Film d’ambiance à la lisière de la folie, LES POSSÉDÉES DU DIABLE est une version lesbienne de Faust saupoudrée d’une pincée de Dracula.

Looks beautiful. I hope the bonus is English friendly as well. Wasn't Francos SINNER also being released together with this?

Is this already up for pre-order somewhere?

Thanks for posting the link. The site is a little clunky and it kept trying to rearrange the various parts of my address, but I finally got my pre-order in. Can't wait to see these, as I never picked these up on dvd.

Does anyone know are the French subtitles removable?

According to Facebook they were waiting on the booklets which DPD lost and they now have them, so they'll be shipping soon.

Thanks! I got a shipping notice now.

[Jack.A.Napes]

Yep, mine have shipped too. I ordered Lorna and Sinner separately before I realised there was a booklet if you order the double pack, but fired off a quick email and they said they'd send out the booklet, which was good of them.

Must've seen about 100 Franco movies (just a beginner, I know!) and Lorna is my favourite of the lot. Can't wait to check it out in 1080p.

I wonder if Chat will be able to put out The Obscene Mirror on BD in an english friendly edition sometime?

[agent999]

Just had a quick skip through some random scenes of the Lorna BD and it looks great. Some of it is from a lesser quality print with a few vertical green lines, but considering the rarity of this, a lot of effort has gone into making this the best quality possible. The MM DVD runs a bit longer, but that's due to it letting the end music play over a blank screen. Minus the opening disclaimer about the source of the film, it runs 97:42 so it matches the MM DVD minus the end music. Bravo le chat!

[agent999]

Actually, just got to the end of the film and it has the music over black too, so it does appear to be shorter for some reason?

Maybe frame damage between the different restorations?

[agent999]

The disclaimer does say:

Despite a strong restoration it was impossible to correct all the flaws of the film, however you have the most complete version of this film that almost disappeared.

So I guess that means it's probably due to damaged frames.
