Two new programs: one about the film’s special effects and one about a challenging day on setĮnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing New interview with Östlund and filmmaker and actor Johan Jonason New 4K digital master, approved by director Ruben Östlund, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack But it's relatively slight, given the extensive supplemental material Criterion usually provides. I find everything Östlund does interesting, even if he hasn't matched the brilliance of his earlier ' Force Majeure.' The Criterion edition of this divisive satire includes a new interview and two programs about the making of the film. I'm still about as mixed on the film as I was in my theatrical review, falling between its hardcore fans and vocal detractors. Academy voters were drawn to the social satire of how a disaster doesn't just eliminate the rules between different classes but invert them. Ruben Östlund's Palme d'Or-winner was a surprising tenth nominee for Best Picture at the Oscars this year. Tribute to Bergman from 1989 by filmmaker Woody Allenīergman 101, a selected video filmography tracing Bergman’s career, narrated by Cowie Introduction from 2003 by director Ingmar BergmanĪudio commentary and video afterword by Bergman expert Peter Cowieīergman Island (2006), a feature-length documentary on Bergman by Marie NyrerödĪudio interview from 1998 with actor Max von Sydow One 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and special features Beyond the 4K restoration, Criterion includes the previously available special features, including an excellent doc called ' Bergman Island' and a smart commentary from Bergman expert Peter Cowie.ĤK digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack It's a perfect fit for 4K, which allows a richer appreciation of Gunnar Fischer's striking black-and-white cinematography. It was also covered by Rachael Leahcar, The Neanderthals, Colin Towns & The NDR Bigband, Takeshi Nakatsuka with Iga-Bang BB and other artists. The tale of a medieval knight and his encounter with the literal form of death is one of Bergman's most beloved motion pictures. The Beatles originally recorded Across the Universe written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and The Beatles released it on the album No Ones Gonna Change Our World in 1969. The Criterion Ingmar Bergman box set is one of the best, but those are all standard Blu-rays, which means serious Bergman fans are going to be tempted to buy the standalone 4K versions that start with 1957's 'The Seventh Seal,' one of the most influential films ever made. NEW Bonus Disc of Never-Before-Seen Special Features from Rob Zombie The steelbook is particularly wicked with excellent cover art that you can see above. That gives this release a fun bit of historical importance as it's easier now to see how Zombie was stretching his muscles with this release and how it would be reflected in future works like ' The Devil's Rejects' and ' The Lords of Salem' (still his two best, IMO).

Of course, we know now that it's the latter, as the divisive auteur is still making movies 20 years later. Most rock stars don't transition smoothly to other forms, so it wasn't clear if Rob's efforts were a hobby or a new career. When Zombie dropped his '70s-inspired gore-stravaganza, it was like a curiosity.

It's hard to believe it's been two decades since Rob Zombie's feature debut, now released in a standard special edition and a steelbook one available only at Best Buy. And the new Criterion edition includes a 4K restoration approved by Gilliam, along with the spectacular previously available special features, including an audio commentary, multiple interviews, deleted scenes, and more. It contains some of the best performances of its era, including an all-timer from Jeff Bridges. Terry Gilliam took the brilliant script by Richard LaGravenese and made it his own, blending his dark sense of humor with a story of redemption and trauma. ( Listen here.) I went with 1991 and tried to unpack the films that shaped the taste of a 16-year-old version of me. I was recently honored to be on the podcast 'A Very Good Year,' wherein a guest picks a year and their five favorite films from it. Note: Criterion has also just released Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' films in a box set that will be reviewed individually next week. The soundtrack to the 2007 jukebox musical romantic drama film Across the Universe directed by Julie Taymor, features songs from the Beatles, on which the film was centered and itself based on the song of the same name by LennonMcCartney.
