StudioCanal has revealed that it plans to release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray a brand new 4K restoration of Orson Welles' film
The Trial (1962), starring Anthony Perkins, Orson Welles, Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider, and Akim Tamiroff. The two releases will arrive on the market later this year.
The Trial was restored by StudioCanal and la Cinémathèque française. The image and sound restorations were carried out in 4K at the L'image Retrouvée laboratory from the original 35mm negative. The project was supervised by StudioCanal's Sophie Boyer, responsible for library restoration at StudioCanal, and Jean-Pierre Boiget, EVP distribution Services & IT at STUDIOCANAL.
Description: When police officers arrive at his home to tell him that he's under "open arrest," unassuming bureaucrat Josef K. (Anthony Perkins) can't imagine what kind of crime he might have committed. He consults first his neighbor (Jeanne Moreau) about the incident, then the courts, then a pompous law advocate (Orson Welles), all to no avail. Ironically, Joseph is able to learn of his sentence -- he is to be put to death -- but the nature of the charge against him remains elusive.
