All supposedly 4k restorations. But keep in mind that Poetry is probably an upscale of its 2k DI.

This replicates the long ago deluxe Korean DVD box set of the 3 early films -- plus Poetry.yoloswegmaster wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 9:10 pmLee Chang Dong boxset coming in summer 2024. It will contain Green Fish, Peppermint Candy, Oasis, and Poetry.

Re: Film Movement
Will be interesting to see how this compares with the Umbrella edition coming out in February (apart from the absence of Green Fish, of course).

Re: Film Movement
Indeed, the 4K remasters of both POETRY and SECRET SUNSHINE done in 2022 were upscaled from original 2K DSM files. But I believe they did new color corrections on these remasters, at least the color on the new master of POETRY looks better than previous HD master in my opinion.

Film Movement picked up Bonello's COMA for the US, finally, presumably and probably wisely hoping to ride The Beast's wave

Re: Film Movement
Liverpool and Jauja are the only Alonso films I've seen, but they're both masterpieces and I'm stoked that he made another film at last, and that I may get to see it to boot.

That’s a really great one (then again all his later films are great)

For anyone looking to buy the 4 film Lee Chang Dong set, be aware that Green Fish is not using the 4K restoration as advertised but is instead using an older HD master.

Didn't they do that same screw up with a previous release? The Pagnol set, I think?

This is disappointing and the second QC problem in a month after the botched BD of Bastards (Claire Denis). VS didn’t bother addressing this, so I’m not holding my breath here either.yoloswegmaster wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 9:27 pmFor anyone looking to buy the 4 film Lee Chang Dong set, be aware that Green Fish is not using the 4K restoration as advertised but is instead using an older HD master.

Re: Film Movement
The IFC release has burnt in English subs and possibly some frame rate conversion issue. The AE has neither.
This isn’t a Film Movement title so should be moved from this thread.

Re: Film Movement
If there is actually a 4K restoration of Green Fish, maybe there’s a licensing issue? It’s the one film that wasn’t included with Umbrella’s release.

A 4K restoration was released on blu in Japan, though I think it's on a BD-25. Someone posted screencap comparisons between that release and the FM release:

This is the response that someone from the other forum received when they emailed them about this:yoloswegmaster wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 9:27 pmFor anyone looking to buy the 4 film Lee Chang Dong set, be aware that Green Fish is not using the 4K restoration as advertised but is instead using an older HD master.
It's bizarre that they weren't aware that the master on the release wasn't from the 4K restoration, but at least they have confirmed they are working on a solution.Film Movement wrote:Film Movement was first made aware of the issue with Green Fish on Friday. Film Movement has already contacted their licensor and are working to resolve the issue. Film Movement has inquired about the master and will work to remedy the issue for customers regarding the 4K restoration of Green Fish.

Re: Film Movement
That’s good news. I have watched the disc now and what stood out to me most were the dust marks throughout the entire film. That should’ve been a dead giveaway that it was an outdated master.

Re: Film Movement
Four Japanese films have been added to Film Movement's website's Coming Soon section:
Tokyo Bordello (1987) - Directed by Hideo Gosha
A ruined businessman was forced to sell his daughter, Hisano, to a brothel in Yoshiwara, the largest red-light district in Tokyo. After several months of training, she tries to flee Yoshiwara when the time has come for her to take her first customer. Presented in a new 2K restoration.
Shall We Dance? (1996) - Directed by Masayuki Suo
A successful but unhappy Japanese accountant finds the missing passion in his life when he begins to secretly take ballroom dance lessons. A tremendous box-office smash when first released by Miramax in North America, the original SHALL WE DANCE? is presented in a new and uncut 4K restoration.
Fancy Dance (1989) - Directed by Masayuki Suo
Yohei, a punk rocker, has to become a Buddhist monk in order to inherit a mountain temple. Yohei, though initially rebelling against the tough monastic discipline, learns to adjust. Then his girlfriend shows up, enticing him to return to his rock 'n' roll roots. Presented in a new 4K restoration.
Sumo Do, Sumo Don't (1992) - Directed by Masayuki Suo
A college senior, Shuhei, is blackmailed by a professor into joining the school's sumo team. He is aided by a group of misfits who must team together to defeat their rivals or face disgrace and the disbandment of the sumo club. Recently remade as a 10-part series for Disney+, the original film is presented in a new 4K restoration.

Based on precedent, I assume I'll be sent the replacement disc automatically, since I ordered it from Film Movement (via Vinegar Syndrome) in the first place.nicolas wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2024 5:05 pmGreen Fish replacement program announced on X / Twitter: https://x.com/film_movement/status/1833 ... 09139?s=46
