Looks like y'all beat me to the punch, but here's the relevant link, at least. Ester Krumbachová's Murdering the Devil.
Excited for this one - there's no mention of a physical release but hopefully that's forthcoming. I like that their Eastern European repertoire has expanded beyond Hungary. Between Arbelos, Deaf Crocodile, and Second Run, we're living in a golden age of Eastern European releases. It's great to finally see these films get the attention they deserve, and there are still so many more that merit revival.

I’m just praying someone releases Vaclav Vorlicek’s “Who Wants to Kill Jessie?” or his less well known masterpiece “How to Drown Dr. Mracek, the Lawyer”.

I reviewed the Ester Krumbachová film (positively) in the October Sight & Sound as part of an overview of the latest offerings from the Klassiki streaming service. I assume they were using the same restoration as it looked sensationally good - as did Jaromil Jireš' The Joke, which I'd only previously seen on SD video courtesy of a BBC2 screening and a Godawful Facets DVD.What A Disgrace wrote: Sat Oct 05, 2024 4:35 pm Arbelos is also distributing the restorations for Esther Krumbakowa's Murdering the Devil and Marva Nabili's The Sealed Soul.

Yes, the version Klassiki has was super-crisp. It's a fantastic film.MichaelB wrote: Sun Oct 06, 2024 9:27 amI reviewed the Ester Krumbachová film (positively) in the October Sight & Sound as part of an overview of the latest offerings from the Klassiki streaming service.

Arbelos have retweeted TIFF's announcement of the 4K restoration of Almereyda's Nadja, so I guess it's coming from them

Re: Arbelos / Cinelicious Pics
Nadia seems to be a collab between Arbelos and Grasshopper.
