If you were looking for an excuse to complete your film collection, Criterion just started a new sale specially curated for cinema enthusiasts. It’s the perfect opportunity to grab some of the fantastic disc releases Criterion has launched in the past few months. However, you should hurry up to grab some classic film on DVD, Blu-Ray, or 4K, as the new sale only goes until March 9 at 12pm ET.
The Criterion has been restoring and releasing film classics on home distribution for almost four decades now, from timeless classics to contemporary hits. With the Criterion Collection, the company has been expanding its catalog for the joy of film lovers everywhere. And for our collective despair, there are always more great movies being released every month than our budget can bear. So, Criterion’s sales are the perfect moment to go wild and grab what you can.
If you are unsure of what to get, 2021 was an excellent year for the Criterion Collection, with the release of a 4K set ofCitizen Kane, with 4-discs filled with documentaries, commentary tracks, interviews, and even other works by directorOrson Welles. Another must-have set by Criterion is the “Ingmar Bergman’s Collection,” with 39 different films from the director ofThe Seventh Seal. And if art films are not your thing, Criterion also offers other incredible disc sets such as “Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits,” with five films of the legendary martial artist that revolutionized action cinema.
