Is it possible Le chat qui fume is also doing it?

EDIT: Yep, looks like they’re both releasing the same transfer. From FB:

Jeff Lieberman announced this day... We will edit in Bluray and UHD this little jewel that is BLUE SUNSHINE.
The director has provided us with a raw 4 K scan that will be calibrated and restored to our friends at Camera Obscura Filmdistribution who will also release this film.
There will of course be a lot of bonuses and surprises! A date? We don't know yet.
But we are really happy to offer you this title in this edition which will probably be final.

Now here's a film I never expected to get the UHD treatment! I was a bit underwhelmed by the film when I saw it but I'm glad fans are going to get to see it in such high quality.

[DR Herbert West]

Nice!

Looks like LCQF’s edition is coming in November and preorders open on Friday.

I'm sure I read Lieberman hint that a UK company has this remaster. Possible Arrow release?

[RevolverOcelScott]

I know 4K discs are 99.9% region free, but I hope this gets a US release as well.

Why is the one disc labelled 'VHS'?

[PowellPressburger]

I think I am going to wait for the Camera Obscura release.

Good question!This edition contains an another movie in bluray:"remote control" and the french title is"Meurtre en VHS"

[brainofj72]

Oh wow, including Remote Control is quite the bonus! I was already eyeing the standalone edition of that!

Very interesting that this one has HDR. Kinda throws a wrench into my LCQF preorder plans...not sure what I’ll do now.

[brainofj72]

LCQF just confirmed their edition will have HDR as well, which is a first for them! Makes the decision about which version to get easy for me again.

Even if you didn't give German specs, I would have got the answer.

[Morriford]

French versions pre-order is now live!

[RevolverOcelScott]

Which do you folks think is the better version? LCQF or Camera Obscura. I hate having to make decisions like this.

They’re both using the same master so I don’t expect much, if any, difference PQ-wise, but LCQF including Remote Control as a bonus BD puts their edition over the top for me.

Yep, same here. Pre-ordered this, Link, and Bayan Ko. Came to $110 bucks after shipping, so about $37 for each movie. Never thought in my life I'd pay $37 bucks for ****ing Link, but I've really enjoyed LCQF's releases, and I'm happy to support them.

Nice is you buy all 3 get 10% discount

I am assuming that the audio commentary on the LCQF isn’t Lieberman (and therefore not English) since it specifies no subtitles?
