Shanghai International Film Festival Tsui Hark‘s “Peking Opera Blues” returned to the big screen in a new 4K Dolby Atmos restoration, with the remastered version screening at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival.
The event was backed by Italian jeweler Bvlgari, which partnered with SIFF on the initiative.
The restoration was carried out by Bologna-based film archive L’Immagine Ritrovata. Working from original source film elements, the lab completed a full 4K scan followed by 150 hours of painstaking digital work on individual frames. The process preserved the original film grain and cinematic texture while calibrating brightness, contrast and color saturation for stability and clarity. On the audio side, the source soundtracks were digitally cleaned and remixed into a new Dolby Atmos configuration designed to retain the sonic character of the original.
