THE GOLDEN FERN (1963) Restoration Trailer
Coming to Blu-ray in December.
THE GOLDEN FERN (ZLATÉ KAPRADÍ) - 1963, NFA, 115 min. Czech director Jiří Weiss’s breathtaking B&W fairy tale is one of the most unjustly neglected treasures of 1960s fantasy filmmaking, a hauntingly lyrical work with overtones of Wojciech Has’s THE SARAGOSSA MANUSCRIPT, František Vláčil's MARKETA LAZAROVÁ and Cocteau’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. A handsome young shepherd (Jean Marais lookalike Vít Olmer) stumbles across a magical golden fern in the forest, which transforms itself into a stunning, enigmatic woman, Lesanka (Karla Chadimová) who becomes hopelessly devoted to him. When he rashly joins the army and heads off to war, she sews a seed from the fern into ...

Solomon King 2022 Restoration Trailer
Awesome! This is one I've specifically been wanting to see, glad it's getting remastered. Looking forward to it! I can only dream for "Tragedy of man" next...
I love this film!! bought a bootlegged copy of this year's ago and got a fake case and cover for it! So glad I can now buy it legit!!
>In German with English subtitles. I honestly expect someone may splice the audio from the English dub with the restored footage, though given there's a small moment deleted from the DVD version (its between the discussion with Pascal and when Francis and Bluebeard are in the snow), who knows how seamless that would be
Could the dub being for PAL regions also be an issue? From what I can find it was a UK dub that is featured on Australian VHS and German and French DVD. I wish it could be included as even an SD extra.
@@legokraytdragon There's a NTSC Laserdisc release of the English Dub which only came out in Singapore which I do have in my small Laserdisc collection. That release along with many other earlier home video releases actually contains the footage that is missing from the official German DVD of the film
@@ancientpixels94 Thanks for that info. Fascinating that it was on an obscure LD release. Wonder why Deaf Crocodile couldn’t include it.
@@legokraytdragon The rights for the English dub aren't clear. The licensor couldn't confirm or assure us on the standing of them. As such, we couldn't risk using them. The original cast is much better. Bluebeard's voice by Mario Adorf is particularly terrific!
@@legokraytdragon Rights issues according to a recent response post they did on Twitter
Wow, 1994? I would have guessed at least 10 years earlier just based on the animation style. Looking forward to checking this out.
Looks great! Can't wait!
Deaf Crocodile are an excellent label. I wish that they’d either release Region B discs or make their Region A discs available in Europe/UK. Importing discs is so expensive with postage and taxes. I just can’t afford them all. A deal with Second Run, who release lots of east European films in the UK, might be apposite.
World rights cost a lot more than only North American. We'd love to have our discs available worldwide, but it's just not financially feasible for us most of the time.
Where can one watch the full movie?
Blu-ray available on our site and elsewhere. It's also available on Kanopy to stream.
I have seen this many time as a child, i love it. The most iconic hungarian cartoon.
Cleveland Cinematheque will be showing this 10/18/24
I bought this at Walmart--that's right, Walmart--in 2007 and loved it immediately. All of the names of the directors and great actors in this hooked me, especially Ken Russell. Thank you, Mr. Bartok for being the last person to commission a commercial work by the late master of cinema, perhaps better than any outro we could've imagined, a great and last act of logical defiance.
Watched this recently, this song Kenji kawai composed for this movie is so good. And I think this trailer is the only way to find it on RUclips!
a strasno da eto rosia
When are you getting more of these on Blu-ray?
Well, I suppose if Warner Bros. won't make that Hello Kitty movie, this is the next best thing. But even if I hadn't gotten into HK this year, I would still be down.
Another fucking day has begun...
Glad to see some love for Tamala! The team has a sequel in the works that I've been following for a while, called Tamala 2030- and it looks really exciting
what is this lmao
Deaf Croc has become the goto in world animation on disc. Amazing the titles they're tackling
Hang on to your underpants for 2025. ;)
finally i can have my hands on this underrated masterpiece!!
Instant Buy. Thanks to you guys, I have a 720p RUclips rip of this little gem on my laptop for nearly a decade that I can finally delete now. Keep up the great work!
Maybe wait until your got the Blu-ray Disc in your first? XD. I always hold on until I have the newer format in my hands, especially some different movie releases have been canceled at the last min before. it's rare, but it happens.
Puppy is beyond pumped!!! Awroooooio!! Amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉
This Pup is excited for this Kitty Movie! Hell yea❤❤❤❤
Sweet! When can we order?
Pre-orders will begin Friday, September 27th. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at deafcrocodile.com so you don't miss out on any of our upcoming releases!
Please tell me you guys are gonna make pins and or stickers of Dead Crocodile....
Just pulled myself out of my chair from viewing. Simply fantastic. Soviet-era, Belarusian, gothic, folk crypto-nationalism, as if produced by Hammer studios, with apparitions, ghost hunters, cursed aristocrats, dark puppetry, and... a blindfolded pistol duel. It's like Valeri Rubinchik made "The Savage Hunt of King Stahk" just for me. Kudos to Def Crocodile for this exquisite restoration and presentation.
Thank you!
I wish there was a music list available, as this trailer feature phenomenal orchestrated pieces.
It's all music directly from the film's score.
just watched this today. great release from deaf crocodile. this movie is better than any of the movies on the severin haunts box set, and i love that box.
Damn, you guys really know how to pick em.
anyone know what song that is?? Thank you
There was a movie similar to this I saw as a kid on VHS called Mousetropolis I remember the song "Four Gangsters", some burlesque dancing and a love interest eho looked Japanese. Naybe I was thinking of thos all along? Was in the UK and vividly remember the movie being in English
@@lolnamelollastname9788 you probably saw a dubbed version.
Four Gangsters by a Hungarian band Cotton Club Singers!? It's epic! 🫡
I have a question but don't know where to ask so I'm going ask it in the latest video Do you only do only movies ? I'm asking because I have a suggestion but it's a not movie but a TV show I'm asking because Craig Rogers, which I think is the main person behind the restorations, has worked a TV show before Anyway I wanted to know if you will ever do a restoration of all 16 episodes of the Delta Space Mission show You did a restoration of 2 of the episodes and I was wondering if you will ever do the rest of them (There might be less than 16 since I can only find videos of 4 online but the book "Istoria filmului românesc de animație 1920-2020" lists 16) Sorry if my message is too long I just wanted to know
Also Minor complaint But why do you never release the soundtrack of any of your movies to streaming ? Some of these are really good and are really hard to find
We're open to any/all suggestions.
@@The-Crystal-Warrior because soundtracks are a completely different animal requiring completely different licensing agreements with completely different rights holders with payments required to numerous completely different entities.
@@deafcrocodile Oh Sorry for asking, I'm not experienced in copyright law
@@The-Crystal-Warrior There is a label that has released musical scores of these kinds of movies from these nations covered by Deaf Crocodile, Finders Keepers, a UK imprint, it's vinyl.
Please, spare my wallet!!!
Режимное п-дор редкий, а вот фильм талантливый
I found this today on Night Flight streaming and I love it. It's a surreal satire, but it has a lot of heart about kind dishonesty -- to protect the naive need we all have for our romanticized nostalgia. At least, that was the way I took it. The plot and the tone took a lot of deft and pleasant twists and turns. Probably different than what you'd expect from the trailer. Why isn't this considered a classic?
Looks incredible!
Haha. Looks wild. Def wanna see this
I'm sold
I watched this on the Kanopy streaming channel last year. It's tremendous.
Terrific movie!
I’m getting Fritz the cat vibes from this
Damn this looks wild
Was there ever an english dub?
yes! But the word jokes and the funny one liners from hungarian version did not get translated to english.
@@gabornagy1942 Well, an englsh dub is nowhere to be found online. As far as I know.
Wow, this looks nuts. But I kinda had a feeling you guys would go for this one anyway, so I'm in.
This looks like a lot of fun! I enjoyed the Mysterious Castle of the Carpathians and this looks like a similarly good time- even with the leading man from Mysterious Castle returning for another go!
It is even from the same director. If you enjoyed the Mysterious Castle you will enjoy this one as well :)
More surrealist Czech films! Can’t get enough of them. This looks incredible.
Sou Brasileiro, e tive em VHS, fazia tempo que procurava essa animação mas não lembrava o nome, que loucura.. assisti várias vezes quando criança
Guess starring the owl from the tootsie pop commercials. That man said he was out watching the birds. I know he is a pedo.
I’m in the UK and can’t afford all the excellent films Deaf Crocodile get for us! I desperately want this (and several others!) but have to pick and choose. I’d love DC to release into the UK because I could afford more, then!
This place seems to carry some of our titles. www.filmtreasures.co.uk
@@deafcrocodile I’ve had a look and can’t find any Deaf Crocodile titles listed or even Deaf Crocodile itself listed. My hopes were raised there for a moment!
@@richardking3206 You unfortunately need to search title by title. Just searching our name doesn't work. They don't have much right now, but hopefully they'll order more. Drop them a message saying you're looking for Deaf Croc titles!
It looks great. Will there be a 2K restoration of the movie “Passport” by the same director in this case?
You guys are putting some incredible stuff. Can't wait for the future titles
