Blu-ray Review: Antonioni’s ‘La Notte’ Joins Criterion Collection
Submitted by BrianTT on November 7, 2013 - 12:34pmCHICAGO – 1961’s “La Notte” helped build Michelango Antonioni’s international reputation after the success of “L’avventura” and lifted stars Marcello Mastroianni and Jeanne Moreau to an arthouse plateau. The film hasn’t aged as well as some of Antonioni’s best, in my opinion, although the 4K restoration on the new Criterion Blu-ray certainly helps one appreciate the visual compositions of its incredibly influential director. The release is a bit slight on supplemental material but fans of the filmmaker or star will simply be happy to have one of his more notable works in HD.
Blu-Ray Review: Visionary ‘Red Desert’ Joins Criterion Collection

This striking visual composition has never looked better and the film remains as mesmerizing as it was almost a half-century ago, arguably more so.
