This beautiful restoration of the silent film comes from a new 4k scan by Institut Lumière, released on the 2015 French Blu-Ray, "Lumière, Le cinématographe 1895-1905." In the U.S. the compilation is streaming as "Lumière!" on Amazon Prime.
Video from 1080p Blu-Ray source, gently upscaled back to 4k to boost the allowed bitrate on RU-vid. Frame rate is 24fps (although it was originally hand cranked at around 20fps).
No cropping out parts of the frame. No interpolating extra fake frames to boost the frame rate. No using a neural net to guess how to fill in the details missing from a muddy ultra-compressed 720p source.
French title: L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat
