I saw this film on DVD from Kino, and never thought Second Run would release it on DVD. How nice to be wrong! But I would hope that the rest of the Diary tri/tetralogy will also make an appearance...

This is one of ten Márta Mészáros' films that the Hungarian National Film Fund have restored, and the restoration recently premiered as part of the Berlinale Classics programme. A trailer for the restoration is here. I wonder if this will be coming from Second Run at long last?

Second Run will release this on Blu-Ray later this year, with a UK premiere of the restoration as part of the Cinema Rediscovered festival in Bristol.

Looks like the Blu-Ray is finally coming this year — it’s on the Coming Soon section of Second Run’s website.

Criterion has this one in the US for what it’s worth.

My recent Sight & Sound piece on Mészáros, combining an interview with her with an overview of much of her feature output, has just been published online.

"I loved the heavy film-like appearance that has texture and adept contrast layering. The overall image quality is very rich and tactile. [...]
Fabulous job by Second Run to bring Márta Mészáros' ADOPTION to Blu-ray adding to their catalogue of desirable East European film transfers."

A Guardian article on Márta Mészáros to tie in with the BFI season of films and Second Run's release of Adoption.
