out in Poland on 20 February.
I've yet to find out if the disc has English subtitles, though other titles on the same label (Gutek Film) have done. I'll probably take the plunge anyway, as the zloty seems to be doing even worse than the pound right now, so it's not much of a gamble - and I have a Polish friend who's a Skolimowski nut who'll be only too happy to take it off my hands if it's incomprehensible!
I was sent an appalling-quality checkdisc yesterday (with so much artefacting that the bitrate must have been near zero, and the massive timecode didn't help), so I've gone ahead and ordered it - even if it doesn't have subtitles, at least I have a set for reference.
If it does, of course, I'll confirm as soon as it arrives - probably late next week if Merlin's usual delivery times apply.
Since they've announced it in the ad in the Kinoteka programme, I'm probably at liberty to reveal that Second Run is releasing
Barrier and
Hands Up! later this year - plus a tantalising hint that those won't be their only Skolimowski releases.
No idea about transfers/extras - but even if they use the same masters that Telewizja Kinopolska did, they're well aware of the inadequate subtitles on that release and intend to improve on them.
