I noticed somewhat belatedly that a brand-new and sparkling restoration of Jean-Luc Godard's wonderful 'Alphaville' was shown in New York earlier this year.
Does this indicate that Studio Canal may give us a Blu ray of this modern classic? It has been given a Blu ray release in Japan (though I'm not sure if this was of the restored version, and it was without Eglish subtitles).
The old Criterion DVD was pretty indifferent .. this movie, featuring the hardboiled detective Lemmy Caution working in a galaxy not too far from our own, really does deserve an authoritative Blu ray release.
