"L'Atalante" was restored in 1990 for Gaumont by Jean-Louis Bompoint and Pierre Philippe. This restoration was aided in large part by the discovery of a 1934 copy of the film in the British National Film and Television Archive, as well as by rushes and rare material from the French Cinematheque and sequences from a copy of "Le Chaland Qui Passe" held by the Royal Belgian Cinematheque. In response to criticisms of this restoration, a fifth re-edit was made 2001 by Bernard Eisenchitz and Luce Vigo (the director's daughter) that made some changes and improvements to the 1990 version. The 2001 restoration appears in Criterion's "The Complete Jean Vigo"; it also appeared on Artificial Eye's UK edition in 2004 and "L'intégrale Jean Vigo" in 2001. A new 4K restoration was finished in 2017 by Gaumont.
