Carlotta Films: Renoir, Kobayashi, Powell and Pressburger in 2012

Last week, Carlotta Films announced that they will release on Blu-ray Jerry Schatzberg's Puzzle of a Downfall Child (February 22). Now the French distributors have revealed that they are also planning to release on Blu-ray Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's Black Narcissus (March 7th), Jean Renoir's The River (March 21), and Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri (April 2012). Exact technical specs, supplemental features and region coding status for these releases are unknown at the moment.

In the U.S., Black Narcissus and Harakiri are already available on Blu-ray via the Criterion Collection, but The River is currently available only on DVD, again via the Criterion Collection.

Note: On January 18th, Carlotta Films will also release Oliver Stone's Talk Radio on DVD, sourced from a new restoration.
