Description

Carlos, directed by Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours), is an epic, intensely detailed account of the life of the infamous international terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sanchez—also known as Carlos the Jackal. One of the twentieth century’s most-wanted fugitives, Carlos was committed to violent left-wing activism throughout the seventies and eighties, orchestrating bombings, kidnappings, and hijackings in Europe and the Middle East. Assayas portrays him not as a criminal mastermind but as a symbol of seismic political shifts around the world, and the magnetic Édgar Ramírez (The Bourne Ultimatum) brilliantly embodies him as a swaggering global gangster. Criterion presents the complete, uncut, director-approved, five-and-a-half-hour version of Carlos.

This multilayered, immensely entertaining drama from the great contemporary French director Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours) is a singular look at the intersection of high art and popular culture. The always extraordinary Juliette Binoche (Code Unknown) is stirring as Maria, a stage and screen icon who is being courted to star in a new production of the play that made her famous only this time she must assume the role of the older woman. Kristen Stewart (Twilight) matches her punch for punch as her beleaguered assistant, called upon to provide support both professional and emotional for her mercurial boss. And Chloë Grace Moretz (Hugo) is Maria s arrogant new castmate, a starlet waiting in the wings. An amorphous, soul-searching tale, filled with ethereal images of its Swiss Alps setting, Clouds of Sils Maria brilliantly dramatizes one woman s reckoning with herself and the world. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - New 2K digital master, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack - New interviews with director Olivier Assayas and actors Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart - Cloud Phenomena of Maloja, a silent 1924 documentary by Arnold Fanck that is seen in the film - Trailer - PLUS: An essay by critic Molly Haskell

Long unavailable, Olivier Assayas’s deeply felt coming-of-age drama Cold Water has until now been a missing link in one of contemporary cinema’s richest bodies of work. Drawing from his own youthful experiences, Assayas revisits the outskirts of Paris in the early 1970s, telling the story of teenage lovers Gilles (Cyprien Fouquet) and Christine (Virginie Ledoyen), whose rebellions against family and society threaten to tear them apart. The visceral realism of the movie’s narrative and the near experimentalism of its camera work come together effortlessly thanks to a rock soundtrack that vividly evokes the period. With one of the most memorable party sequences ever committed to film as a centerpiece, Cold Water is a heartbreaking immersion in the emotional tumult of being young. DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digital restoration, supervised by director Olivier Assayas, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack • New interview with Assayas • New interview with cinematographer Denis Lenoir • Excerpt from a 1994 French television program on the film featuring Assayas and actors Virginie Ledoyen and Cyprien Fouquet • New English subtitle translation • PLUS: An essay by critic Girish Shambu

The live-wire international breakthrough of Olivier Assayas stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade’s classic silent crime serial Les vampires. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer, and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial-arts flicks, and the music of Sonic Youth and Luna into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes a witty critique of the nineties French film industry and the eternal tension between art and commercial entertainment. Director-Approved Two-Blu-ray Special Edition Features • New 2K digital restoration from the original camera negative,
