[press release]
We are excited to announce Criterion's incredible September line-up. First up, one of the company's most ambitious and long-awaited releases, a complete and newly-restored edition of Krzysztof Kieślowski's epic 10-part masterpiece,
Dekalog, a kaleidoscopic exploration of morality and humanity, available on Blu-Ray and DVD. The films will also have a theatrical release. Next we visit
Valley of the Dolls, Mark Robson's steamy, eye-popping adaptation of the decade-defining pop culture novel, as well as its deliriously entertaining, ante-upping semi-sequel, Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert's
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, an outrageous and raucous cult classic, each in their own glorious new DVD and Blu-ray editions. Just as visually stunning is the restoration of one of the great debuts of American cinema, Joel & Ethan Coen's
Blood Simple, a mad, murderous, and wildly influential Neonoir fresh off its theatrical re-release. The long awaited release of Jacques Tourneur's
Cat People, made under the guidance of legendary producer Val Lewton, is a landmark of the horror genre and one of the cinema's best creature features. Kenji Mizoguchi's pre-war masterpiece of love and theater,
The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums, joins the Collection in a US debut on Blu-Ray and DVD. All this plus Carol Reed's WWII Spy Thriller,
Night Train to Munich, from the writers of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, now available on Blu-Ray for the first time, plus the twenty-five-film set of the adventures of Zatoichi,
The Blind Swordsman, now available in a Blu-Ray-only edition.
