The City of Lost Children (1995) 4K UHD - Blu-ray Forum

Jean-Pierre Jeunet:

"Good news. Sony Classic USA has decided to re-release 'The City of Lost Children' on 4K Blu-ray. Studio Canal has therefore decided to restore the film with 'L'Image Retrouvée'. from the original negative. Which brought out a lot of detail in the dark areas that we had never seen. It's going to be sublime. And of course, cleaned of all dust, hair and other nitpicks. Studio Canal also talks about a theatrical release in France in the "classic films" circuit."

Good news!

blackprojection · 06-02-2022, 11:19 AM

I hope Amelie is next!

Jason One · 06-02-2022, 11:56 AM

I hope they do a good job on the 4K scan. The BDs were travesties.

Jompa · 06-02-2022, 01:23 PM

Good. Yes, the BDs had a lot of black crush.

"Cleaned of all nitpicks" makes me anime sweatdrop he's also talking about grain. Supposedly he hates it but that may just be hearsay. Would love that not to be the case.

Leave the grain alone and The perfect cinematography

If not you can smuggle it through the forcefield blocking the country somehow

I’d want English subs though.

This obviously means there will be a US release with English subs

hysmns · 06-03-2022, 09:15 PM

This is great! I voted for this to get a 4K release in one of the surveys Sony sent out a while back.

Yeah sadly you need external sub support or rip capability for French and most German exclusives. You need one or both of these if you want a lot of exclusive foreign content. I get so many Asian cinema releases from France and Germany that are not available anywhere else. It is all very doable though. Just a nuisance.

This is Studio Canal. Not Eagle.
More than likely it has lots of subs.

bergman864 · 06-07-2022, 05:38 PM

I hope this gets an English friendly release. I never picked up that terrible US blu-ray.

yoloswegmaster420 · 06-07-2022, 11:39 PM

If Sony Pictures USA is going to be releasing it on 4K UHD, wouldn't that mean that this is a U.S. release?

I'd forgotten about this one, but seriously it was one of the two movies in that damn Sony box I wanted so not worth over the $100 it would have cost me. I'll probably just get this.

The Sony box dropped to $140 so I imported it to the UK. I've sold 5 titles and I've nearly made back the full cost of the set. If you only want to keep 2 you could well end up with a nice profit (though I have no idea about import costs in Australia so sorry if that doesn't work!)
