Most of Robert Bresson's releases have 4K restorations, and Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne even has a UHD Blu-ray available.

Four Nights of a Dreamer has a recent 4K restoration and it's expecting a release soon.

Notable exceptions are:

Les Affaires publiques (1934), a short film. Its only copy is only available in Cinémathèque Française and no legitimate home media release.

Angels of Sin (1943) only has DVD and 35mm, no recent restorations.

Diary of a Country Priest (1951) doesn't have any english-friendly Blu-ray, but it's available in HD streaming.

A Gentle Woman (1969) is an HD transfer.

Best Video:

BFI and Criterion BDs are same restoration, but BFI is much darker and Criterion is much brighter. Unsure which is correct.

Potemkine France Blu-ray is a recent 4K restoration compared to the old Japan Imagica Blu-ray, it unfortunately also has the eclair teal https://slow.pics/c/BIIWAPtO

Given that it's a Janus theatrical release, an English-friendly and Criterion release can be expected in the near future.
