Janus Films

[Finch]

Thank you. I suspected as much but ordered the Pathe edition anyhow a few days ago. I'll hold onto the Criterion DVD for the extras.

Per my local theatre who is hosting a Melville month in March, Le Samouraï is getting a re-release by Janus in “a few months”. Indication of hopefully a 4K release soon.

Hopefully this means there will be some movement on the 4k restoration of Les Enfants Terrible

That restoration is already available on Blu-ray from the BFI, in a very nice edition.

Late August, Early September...

Exciting to see this finally added to the site after playing with the Janus logo for about two years now on streaming sites. I know I'm probably alone here, but this is Assayas' most effective attempt at straight drama, outside of genre. I once had more to say here

Bela Tarr's The Man from London and The Outsider...

Family Nest has also been added. I hope there is A Man From London bluray release

Bela Tarr's The Man from London and The Outsider...

Interesting that Man From London is available in 35mm. I wonder if they acquired IFC’s prints

They did. They played those prints at the recent retro in Los Angeles and were apparently credited to Janus. I was disappointed as Man from London was the one Tarr film in the series they didn't give an encore presentation with and remains the one Tarr film I've never seen.

I missed it, too. Brain Dead screened it last year as well, but I think I ended up seeing something else for some reason. Difficult decisions must be made with repertory screenings sometimes!

I really hope so, too - A Man From London only has a DVD release and it's not very high quality. It seems like though that the Hungarian Film Institute didn't restore this one yet. I hope Janus will restore it with Tarr and release it soon.

[What A Disgrace]

With Werckmeister Harmonies including Family Nest as a supplement, and Man From London being the only 'mature' Tarr film without a Blu-ray, I would be surprised if the inevitable disc of Man From London didn't include another early film. I would suspect The Outsider is the film in question; the rest of Tarr's small filmography is another matter, but I suspect The Prefab People and Almanac of Fall could get individual releases with the various other films included as supplements.

The Prefab People and Almanac of Fall have not been restored by the Hungarian Film Institute and I doubt that it would worth it for anyone else independently. These are lesser known and more time- and location- specific films as the Tarr-Krasznahorkai collaborations, so I'd think the market potential is much smaller. A Man From London/Outsider disc sounds much more likely to me.

The caveat is that they have not updated the restored film list since 2022, so whatever I said above might be obsolete.

I hope his MacBeth has a chance at being a supplement on any future Tarr releases

Interesting glitch(?) Él shows up on the Luis Buñuel page, but when you follow the link it leads to 404 page.

God I would hope that Janus does a restoration of it. I wonder if they are planning a Buñuel in Mexico series, since they already have a restoration from 2019 for Los Olvidados ready to go.

This has already been restored by the World Cinema Foundation.

Lovely Janus poster for Evil Does Not Exist.
