Tom St Jones
Supporting Actor
Anyone hear any hints that this masterwork, directed by Bertrand Tavernier, may get released sometime in the not-too-distant future?
I've waited forever for this to surface on Blu or at least a remastered DVD. The only Region 1 DVD release I know of (and which is now long OOP) was released by kino in 2002, so maybe they still have the rights? If not, perhaps Criterion would likely get it (which would be awesome)? The film, as it appeared on the Kino disc (which was non-anamorphic), appeared to be much in need of a restoration or at least a new mastering. The picture had a very yellow-brown push to it and the already-muted colors appeared a bit washed-out (unless this was the intention of the filmmakers. have looked into this, but so far haven't found out one way or the other)

. The French DVD you've pointed out for me looks good (from here). Still, this film needs to receive a properly-mastered HD release. This year - or what remains of it - marks the film's 30th anniversary. Certainly as good a time as any.
