I am not a professional video editor but I wanted to present this great film to Western audiences (and others), so I hope this upscale is good enough to serve that purpose. Here's hoping we get a proper remastered blu-ray or even 4K someday.

Fantastic remaster, this is indispensable and important. Keep it up

[@watslow7]

What a wonderful upscaling. Thank you so much. I hope that a Angel Dust DVD find its way to you.

Amazing work! Hopefully it'll be released in blue ray, maybe Criterion will put their hands on it someday

I love this movie deeply and waited for its remaster for a rewatch. You made it possible, thank you.

[@Tripfromfacade]

wow this looks so good, baffling to me that you did a better job than the AI upscaled True Lies 4K that makes every frame look like it's been drenched in wax. Amazing work!

[@reevsyboy1116]
