Duque de Bragança

This one is for Savonarola

The Killer (1989)

Another great restauration, no AI-cleaning crapfest/adulteration à la James Cameron and his tech bros (hello True Lies), of the 35 mm movie.
Comparable to Hard Boiled for the quality of the DCP.

I remember a screening with reels jumpings every now and then, with some breaks literally, a dozen years ago or so in an arthouse in the Latin Quarter.

4K Blu-ray scheduled for March over here. The French DVD I had was good for its time, unlike the Criterion  :P, but that was 20 years ago.

Movie is arguably John Woo's most famous.

Josephus

Saw an interesting movie on TCM the other day. A German movie made in 1946 in the Soviet zone. It was called something like The Murderers Among Us and was about a German soldier who feels remorse for a killing aktion in Poland. Interestingly the main actor was an ex SS officer.

The ending was meh---but I read the occupying powers didn't like his original ending
