We’re thrilled to announce Criterion’s first 4K Ultra HD releases, a six-film slate that includes Citizen Kane, Menace II Society, The Piano, Mulholland Dr., The Red Shoes, and A Hard Day’s Night. The first of these editions and their special features will be detailed in our November 2021 announcement next week, with others to follow in subsequent months.

It's a mind bender, and Naomie Watts breakthrough movie. I'm going to do a mini David Lynch film festival over here - Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. Keep your Prozac handy. All three are in my " Mental Illness Awareness Month " film collection. :-X

Music by Dave Grusin ! I have some of his jazz albums - forgot he did so many soundtracks too!

It's the most Lynchian of the films on your list, and definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

That said, it can also be the most striking and unsettling, with themes that can either resonate or fall flat on viewers.

Knowing the path that movie went through makes it all the more remarkable.

Maybe consider it as a midnight feature?

Well, then, you're in for an experience. Yes, stranger that Blue Velvet.

Don't read about it, just go into it cold. Fair to say it's a polarizing movie, but it has all the hallmarks of a Lynch film.
