Argos Films and Arte Video have revealed that they are planning to bring to Blu-ray acclaimed director Alain Resnais' classic film Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), starring Emmanuelle Riva, Eiji Okada, and Stella Dassas. The release is set to arrive on the French market on November 19th.

Hiroshima, Mon Amour was recently restored in 4K by Argos Films, Technicolor and Groupama Gan Foundations, and Cineteca di Bologna, with the support of CNC. Earlier this year, the new restoration was screened in the Classics section of the Cannes Film Festival.

A French actress and a Japanese architect have an affair while the actress is making a movie in Hiroshima. Their pasts are slowly re-traced, revealing that his life was destroyed by the atomic bomb which was dropped on the city, and that she was imprisoned as a wartime collaborator. Alain Resnais' first feature. The screenplay is by Maguerite Duras.

Yes! Another "must have" title for Q4!

I assume this will not have English subs?

[Dan8700]

Hello! Since this has just been released... tell me there are English subs, please...

There are no subtitles at all:

Ouch... thanks for the info!

It's really amazing that these studios from France, Japan, etc. don't add English subtitles for their non-English releases. They would easily triple their sales.

The plot showing the exposure latitude of film is interesting. Outside the linear portion of the curve, under and over exposure occurs. But are they describing a transfer to video that only covers a portion of the film's linear section, the portion inside the area bounded by (log Ex2 - log Ex1) and (D2 - D1) ?

It would be interesting to know how the tonal range of video differs from the tonal range of film, for each transfer. It would make video reviews less subjective, because people could talk about something that can be measured instead of expressing an opinion.
