For those who wonder, like I did, how there's a new film directed by Sydney Pollack listed when he passed away several years ago, here's an article:

With Toronto screening, 'Amazing Grace' comes to the end of a long road

Adieu Philippine (France-Italy), Jacques Rozier

Hopefully this means it's been restored. It looked the ropiest of all the films included in the French Rozier set, and it's ridiculous that a key cornerstone film of the Nouvelle Vague still doesn't have a stateside release in any format-- maybe one of our favorite labels has footed a restoration bill and will be putting it out?
