\nLooks like the release date is mainly for ordering from the Criterion site, because it’s available now as part of the Barnes & Noble Criterion sale. At any rate: hot on the heels of the Worst Person in the World<\/i> release, where I wrote the booklet essay<\/a>, comes Criterion’s 4k digital master of Raging Bull<\/i>, with so many special features it’ll take you a week to get through it. All Marty-approved material. As I learned to my shock and awe<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n \nI’m so pleased I got to write (and narrate) a video-essay on the acting performances and am very much looking forward to the discussions about it, and the observations made by other people. <\/p>\n Doing Worst Person in the World<\/i> and Raging Bull<\/i> essentially back to back makes me so happy since two more different movies cannot be imagined. It’s kind of like when I wrote the booklet essays for The Great Escape<\/i><\/a> and Dance, Girl, Dance<\/i><\/a> – a so-called “boy movie” and a so-called “girl movie” (yuk) – back to back. I was juggling my research into the Luftwaffe POW camps and the avant-garde dance scene in the 1920s and 30s … nothing had anything to do with anything else … and it was a good versatility test, that they trusted me with both. I’m not a specialist, if you get my drift. <\/p>\n Anyway, very much looking forward to this release, and judging from internet comments, I’m not alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looks like the release date is mainly for ordering from the Criterion site, because it’s available now as part of the Barnes & Noble Criterion sale.
