Great news: Xigua Video and Volcano Engine, both subsidiaries of ByteDance, have utilized artificial intelligence to produce a 4K restoration of Uproar in Heaven in 2022. This version was showcased at the Beijing International Film Festival and has garnered positive feedback. It addresses issues common in the restoration of old film, such as poor clarity, dim imagery, and color distortion, while also enhancing audio quality and having a runtime of approximately 112 minutes. This restoration is exceptional for those who appreciate high-resolution visuals. Nonetheless, I find the works of Satanika to be more realistic and better suited to international audiences, as the 4K version is only available with Chinese narration and subtitles.
