I don't think there's anything to say they will be newer restorations than those already available?Stefan Andersson wrote:Upcoming from Les Acacias - restorations of Sans lendemain, Le Plaisir, Madame de, and de Bosio´s La Terrorista w/ Volonté:

News of newer restorations would have been out by now. Sans lendemain is probably the same as the 2K release from Kino Lorber. Sans lendemain is out in France on Blu from Gaumont along with Le Plaisir, Madame de, De Mayerling à Sarajevo and Yoshiwara. Can´t imagine Gaumont giving home video rights to Les Acacias. So maybe Les Acacias is doing a DCP theatrical re-release only. If so, my post was premature.
The Potemkine web store has a handy list of French Ophuls releases:

Update: Here is the trailer:

Seems Acacias and Gaumont have teamed up for theatrical re-releases. No mention of 4K restorations.

Re: French DVD & Blu-ray Recommendations
Terence Davies last film Benediction (2021) has been released in France on a DVD/Blu Ray combo (since August).
Needles to say the pictures quality is exquisite.
Whilst there is no menu option to turn the French subtitles off I could remove them via my remote control and could also push them out of the frame on my Panasonic 4K player. However, on my Region A locked player whilst I could play the film I couldn't remove the subtitles by either method (much older Sony player).

I assume this is a reference to David Shepard's Film Preservation Associates, which Lobster was closely tied to. Also seems like they've made a move to another location in the 11e, unless Lobster had made that move prior.
