Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist

Summer sale has started on their website. Lots of new items in the sale.

Seems as if Une femme douce may sell out earlier than others and at a £14.99 price point.

50% off sale running at Barnes & Noble, too.

Une femme douce has done a La terra trema and gone quick. Would get one from a third party whilst still available.

Fantasia Fest credits a new restoration of Gozu (!!!) as coming from Radiance.

A little more info from New Wave Video about the restoration:

Coming Soon to 4K UHD from New Wave Video
After more than a year of negotiations, we're thrilled to finally announce that we've figured out the rights to GOZU.
[…]
For this release, we've restored the only surviving 35mm Cannes print in 4K at our restoration facility in Sydney, Australia.

Amazing news about Visitor Q and Gozu, had no idea they'd be able to to the latter so that's excellent they finally managed to figure it out. I wonder if they can also get UK rights for A Colt Is My Passport whilst they're at it?

Insane they're planning another 6 volumes of Radical Japan, we've only really been speculating the next one or two let alone that many. Perhaps they've made some significant strides in Japanese licensing, and be interesting to see what the second volume will entail as that'd likely provide a hint to what kind of direction they're going. I wonder if the hope is eventually Toho will have to take notice and they can fulfil some long-requested wants (I'm thinking Teshigahara).

Radiance already said a while back that they couldn't get A Colt is My Passport
