UHD Review Videodrome UHD Review (Criterion) (1 Viewer)

[Neil Middlemiss]

David Cronenberg’s unique cinematic voice gave the world Videodrome in 1983, a film that hasn’t lost its relevance now four decades later, and whose edge and commentary on the traps of technology and media for humanity remain just as sharp in its needling. Criterion brings the feature to 4K in an edition worthy of this important film with a solid collection of extras.

The last Criterion BD was damn good. No need for this, at least to me.

I mentioned Howard Shore's score in my review. I picked up a copy of La-La Land Records's release from a while back and there are still copies available from the limited edition. It's a great early Shore work and La-La Land does an excellent job with the quality, liner notes, etc. Recommended (and I hope they get to The Fly one day, too!)
