In March 2015, Criterion will highlight some of the most important nonfiction films ever made,
starting with
the release on Blu-Ray and DVD of a trio of documentaries by Oscar winner Errol Morris. His first two films, Gates
of Heaven (which Roger Ebert called “one of the ten greatest films ever
made”) and Vernon, Florida, together in one set, are vivid peeks at
off-the-beaten-path America; and his incredible The Thin Blue Line is a
shocking true story of a miscarriage of justice. The popular Criterion title Hoop
Dreams, the 1994 documentary landmark about two teen NBA hopefuls, is back
in a new twentieth-anniversary restoration. Ingmar Bergman’s visually
astonishing, Oscar-winning Cries and Whispers will be back in a
supplement-packed new special edition, and available for the first time in the
USA on Blu-ray. And make room on your shelf for two buried cinematic treasures: François
Truffaut’s Hitchcock-inspired French New Wave drama The Soft Skin and
Robert Montgomery’s gripping Hollywood noir Ride the Pink Horse, both
making their American DVD and Blu-Ray debuts.
Stay tuned for details.
