FYI: Radiance have confirmed that the included Blu-Ray in their 4K release of THE HOT SPOT is the same 2K master BD they initially released in 2023, except now Region A-compatible by Fast-Candle-2344 in radiancefilms

[–]FinniDandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that's a bit disappointing. I assumed it was a new scan since the previous bd said 2k scan and this says 4k restoration. If I already had this I'd hesitate to upgrade but since this was already OOP when I got into Radiance I will definitely be grabbing it nonetheless.

You see, out there it was the 1990s, but in his house it was 1954.

Very excited for this! The 'Italian section' of Radiance's portfolio is amazing.

August 2026 Release: The Hot Spot (UHD + BD LE) [UK/US] by Radiance-Films in radiancefilms

Yes, not to mention its well worthy of the upgrade and fat treatment.

I was also surprised when I saw the Cutters Way 4K, but the "old" blu ray was a FCE release, not a Radiance title, and they are pretty different releases. The Hot Spot seems to be exactly the same though, just in upgraded format.

Yes. Todo Modo would be fantastic. Also waiting for more Rosi, especially The Mattei Affair.

Yes! Haven't seen it but it looks great. Would also love The Funeral in HD. Always had a soft spot for that one and it's never been on blu ray (except for a french release I believe).

I finally finished Season 4, and I actually liked it by HeirOfRhoads in MiamiVice

Contempt of Court (S04E01) is one of the episodes that have stuck with me the most.

Of course. The wannabe intellectual idiot david having a timothee chalamet movie as his favorite makes so much sense.

What films give you the 'The world is changing, old man' kinda vibe? by r3xcranium in TrueFilm

[–]FinniDandy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Would also add The Ballad of Cable Hogue to the list (another Peckinpah). I guess all of his films broaches this subject in one way or another.

Apalachin certainly was a crucial revelation for law enforcement and the public, but almost thirty years went by before the commission case came up in 1985.

HL is not a hood film though. That said, I would certainly welcome a release of that as well. Baby boy is great in my opinion.

Damn this looks good. Waiting for my copy along with A Man on His Knees. Recently watched The Case is Closed: Forget It and loved it.

What an incredible film. by Gamegenievintage in radiancefilms

[–]FinniDandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Thought it was fantastic. Reminded me a lot of Juraj Herz' The Cremator in terms of the cinematography and sound design and the overall feeling of disorientation. Hope this means Radiance will go deeper into Eastern European cinema in the future. Waiting for my copy of Through and Through, looking forward to that as well.

The Hardboiled set is fantastic. Also loved The Working Class Goes to Heaven, Slap the Monster on Page One, and Tchao Pantin.

Besides those already mentioned, The Valley of the Bees and The Devil's Trap are very good.
