THE CRITERION COLLECTION JUNE 27, 2023 Our June Releases

The Rules of the Game Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir's scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners unfolds during a weekend at a marquis's country château. Special Features: 4K UHD release with a new restoration of the film; an introduction by Renoir; audio commentary written by scholar Alexander Sesonske and read by filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich; a comparison of the film's two endings; and more Time Bandits In Terry Gilliam's fantastic voyage through time and space—at once a giddy fairy tale, a revisionist history lesson, and a satire of technology gone awry—a boy escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time travelers.  Special Features: 4K UHD release with a new restoration of the film; audio commentary by Gilliam, cowriter-actor Michael Palin, and actors John Cleese, David Warner, and Craig Warnock; a program on the film's various historical periods and fantasy worlds; and more The Servant A dissolute scion of the upper crust hires a seemingly perfect manservant (a diabolical Dirk Bogarde) in this mesmerizing dissection of class, sexuality, and power by the ever-provocative Joseph Losey, featuring a masterful script by playwright Harold Pinter. Special Features: A rare interview from 1976 with Losey by critic Michel Ciment; an interview from 1996 with Pinter; interviews with Bogarde and actors James Fox, Sarah Miles, and Wendy Craig; and more Medicine for Melancholy A one-night stand between two young bohemians spins off into a daylong affair in Barry Jenkins's captivating debut feature, set against the backdrop of a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco. Special Features: Audio commentaries featuring Jenkins; a new program about the making of the film, featuring editor Nat Sanders and actor Wyatt Cenac; camera test footage and a blooper reel; and more Pasolini 101 This major tribute to the Italian iconoclast Pier Paolo Pasolini, one of the most original thinkers of the twentieth century, features nine uncompromising, often scandal-inciting features he made in the 1960s—a monument to his daring vision of cinema as a form of resistance.  Special Features: Shorts and documentaries by Pasolini; a new program on his visual style, narrated by actor Tilda Swinton and writer Rachel Kushner; audio commentaries; archival interviews with the director; and more For further information on Criterion and our products, please visit our website at criterion.com. To start streaming the Criterion Channel, please visit criterionchannel.com. If you are not already on our mailing list and would like to be added, please click here to register at criterion.com. To unsubscribe, click here.  © 2023 The Criterion Collection :: 215 Park Ave S.
