The restored version premiered on 11 May 2011, eighteen years after its discovery and 109 years after its original release, at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, with a new soundtrack by the French band Air. The restoration was released by Flicker Alley in a 2-disc Blu-ray and DVD edition also including "The Extraordinary Voyage", a feature-length documentary by Bromberg and Lange about the film's restoration, in 2012. In "The New York Times", A. O. Scott called the restoration "surely a cinematic highlight of the year, maybe the century."
