Restoration? What happened? Was the original damaged?

Everything with a 35mm master is getting a 4k scan with a little scratch and color cleanup and getting re-released as a “4k restoration”. Making these titles available to theaters is cheap. Theaters with over a dozen auditoriums and nobody showing up to every-hour-on-the-hour screenings of this week’s new release are happy to drop something like this in for a week here and there.

I mean, cheaper than a new film sure, but not as cheap as 4K upscales

I dont see how a minor touch up is considered a restoration. Must just be a marketing term.
I mean, I like Perfect Blue so this is all good to me, just not a fan of the wording.

I’d definitely go see this in the theatre if it was near it, it won’t be. Perfect Blue is hands down one of the best psychological thrillers of all time and does a fantastic job showing how anime can do things live action cannot. Damn I wish I could watch this film for the first time again.
