The Criterion Collection

Criterion maintains its pioneering commitment to presenting state-of-the-art restorations, with special features designed to encourage repeat viewing and a curatorial approach to packaging. It's the movie lover's label.

More than 200 Directors have collaborated with Criterion on restoring their films and creating new supplemental features available in these special collectible editions.

Cinema history is dotted with thunderous works of art that announced their makers’ brilliance right out of the gate.

With themes of love, suffering, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption, melodrama puts its audiences through the emotional wringer.
