This looks depressing. Thank you, deadman!
English subtitles found here: https://subscene.com/subtitles/requiem- ... sh/2287537
and resynced for deadman's file:
Requiem pro panenku (1992).1080p.bluray.dts.x264-sos.en.srt
.
[After deadman's warning about the Czech subtitles, I will say that these SEEM to be synced properly -- but I did not check every single line.]
(I will post separately after I have ArtasKo's ulozto link downloaded, with synced English subtitles for that version.)
Many thanks for the English subs. Yes, this is not a light comedy that's for sure. Good movie though.
Something was wrong with my original MEGA link - it's fixed now.
ArtasKo's ulozto file kept crashing VLC on my old computer, but that seems to be a problem with my computer and H265 files. It plays just fine on my blu-ray player, and should also play on computers that are not so ancient. Some people may prefer to go for this smaller version. I verified in SubtitleEdit (and my player) that the Subscene English subtitle is already in sync:

I saw this a decade ago on some satellite channel - never thought I'd see it at Bluray res. But flicking through it this seriously needs a de-noise filter! But I don't have After Effects to do justice to this
With all that grain Deadman this really needed that 8gb encode! Grain is a right pain to encode - eats data! And well done for the alternative links - 8gb on emule might have been painful!
I tested about 10 different shots. The Topaz medium quality totally eliminates the grain! This makes it look too smooth. But then I feel if you blend the Topaz with the original keeping say 25% of the original you get a pristine film with a tiny amount of grain - a bit like the grain effect we apply after an upscale.
Now I don't mind film grain - but a lot of scenes are just tremendous noise - way beyond film grain.
I'll do a test - but on my graphics card it'll take 2 days to render the medium quality at 1080p!

You are still at v2.6.4? You could use the Proteus model and only remove the noise wthout any other changes. (It's already in 1080p).
But as I said: I don't need any editing.
The new version was not stable, always wanted to be online, so I reverted back to the older model. Yeah, I wouldn't be resizing - just denoising.
Yes, 3.0 was still pretty buggy, but it's getting better and better. And the Proteus auto-model works just great in many cases. I don't like the Artemis medium-quality model very much. Looks often too artificial.
I know we don't post clips - but before I leave my PC on for 48+ hours trying to remove noise I thought I'd do a 1minute sample of the improvement:

If you compare it to the same scene in the original 1080p you'll see the differnce. The tiles and the water drops on the taps look so clear. I encoded it with the noise set to 2.3 to add some back in rather than merge with the original.
Even whacking the noise to the maximum (8 I think) I couldn't re-create how much noise/grain there was in the original clip!
