But it’s Orson Welles’ stylistic innovations that made it an instant classic, such as his jigsaw-puzzle narrative structure and stunning deep-focus camera work. The new digital restoration features three new audio commentaries from scholars and critics, new interviews and audio essays, archival interviews with Welles and much more. Set in a remote country house in England after WWII, Alejandro Amenábar’s “The Others” is an early 2000s gothic horror masterpiece.
It was recently added to the Criterion Collection with a glorious 4K Ultra HD restoration that will definitely put a freight in you. The film stars Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, Christopher Eccleston, Elaine Cassidy, Eric Sykes, Alakina Mann, James Bentley and others. Released in 1989, “Do The Right Thing” is a seminal work from director and star Spike Lee.
