The Criterion Collection (www.criterion.com), a continuing series of
important classic and contemporary films, is dedicated to gathering the
greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions
that offer the highest technical quality and award-winning, original
supplements. Criterion began with a mission to pull the treasures of
world cinema out of the film vaults and put them in the hands of
collectors. All of the films published under the Criterion banner
represent cinema at its finest. In our twenty+ years, we've seen a lot
of things change, but one thing has remained constant: our commitment
to publishing the defining moments of cinema in the world's best
digital editions.
