About the Criterion Collection

The Criterion Collection is perhaps the most respected name in physical media, dedicated since 1984 to gathering important classic and contemporary films and presenting them in editions of the highest technical and editorial standard. A spine number on a Criterion release has become shorthand for cinema worth preserving.

Criterion editions are renowned for meticulous restorations, illuminating supplements and beautifully designed packaging, frequently supervised in collaboration with the filmmakers themselves. For collectors, building a Criterion shelf is a way of curating the history of world cinema, one definitive edition at a time.
