Radiance Films General Discussion & Wishlist

[Lowry_Sam]

Le Pont du Nord has been with Janus and Criterion have had it (the 4k restoration I assume) opening with a crazy C for a while now.

Hopefully Pont du Nord will include Paris s’en Va to make it a little bit more worthwhile.

It’s interesting they’re releasing Le Pont Du Nord, since Eureka have already released it on bluray in the UK, even if their edition is out of print. Radiance tend to avoid films that have already been released on bluray by other high-profile Anglosphere boutiques.

Yeah, would be massively disappointed if it were to be this.

Far from a massive disappointment for me, who's more recently gotten into this stuff and has a lot of Rivette on disc except this one has been OOP and expensive for a while. I'm always happy to see things back in print especially if the transfer is an upgrade over what was previously available. Not everyone has been around or collecting for as long as some of you have so what might be redundancy for you is exciting and convenient for others.

How long has that Eureka Pont du Nord been effectively out of print? Seems like a LONG time.

Some updates on our October titles:

Transmission's release of Who Can Kill A Child? (UHD + BD LE) has been provisionally moved back to 7th December. We were unhappy with the provided restoration and have undertaken more work to get it looking the best that it can. This revised date is an estimate as we enter a busy period at our factory, and we will endeavour to get this release to you as soon as possible.

We have also reviewed our internal workflows and delayed future restorations to prevent such delays again, especially as we will be taking on more restorations than ever in 2027, some of which will take the complex leap from having no prior release to Blu-ray or DVD-only to 4K UHD.

We have also been informed of delays to the UK release of Fantastique: The Dreams and Nightmares of French Cinema (LE), although these are relatively minor packaging issues at the manufacturer, and should be ready in the next few weeks.

The US/CA retail dates for Fantastique and Planet of the Vampires (UHD) has been pushed back to 2nd November, although stock may ship earlier than this.

We apologise for these delays and thank you for your patience.

The rest of October's release titles - The Monster, Visitor Q, La marge and Planet of the Vampires [UHD Upgrade] - are all shipping from our UK storefront now
