French label Le chat qui fume has confirmed that three early Andrzej Żuławski films are currently being restored in 4K in Poland, and will transition to Blu-ray in early 2023. The three films are: The Third Part of the Night (1971), Diabel a.k.a. The Devil (1972), and On the Silver Globe (1988).

The Third Part of the Night

Description: Set during the Nazi occupation of Poland, in which Michal witnesses the murder of his mother, wife and child. He is hurled into a life that literally is not his own -- a surreal world littered with trapdoors, doppelgängers and wormholes. It also tells the true untold story of a Nazi vaccine laboratory where Jews and members of the resistance were "employed" as feeders for parasites infected with typhus.

Diabel

Description: Sometime during the Prussian invasion of Poland in 1793. Young Polish nobleman Jakub is saved from imprisonment by a stranger. In return, the stranger wants to obtain a list of Jakub's fellow conspirators. As he follows his mysterious savior across the country, Jakub is affected by the overall chaos and moral corruption. While slowly going insane, Jakub becomes a mass murderer.

On the Silver Globe

Description: A small group of cosmic explorers, including a woman, leaves Earth to start a new civilization. They do not realize that within themselves they carry the end of their own dream. Soon after, they begin dying one by one, while their children revert to a primitive native culture, creating new myths and a strange new god.
