Bong Joon Ho’s riveting serial-killer saga, Frank Borzage’s most delirious romance, and more THE CRITERION COLLECTION APRIL 27, 2021 Our April Releases [Memories of Murder]( In his breakthrough second feature, based on a notorious serial-killer case, Bong Joon Ho explodes the conventions of the detective story with thrillingly subversive, genre-defying results. Special Features: Three audio commentaries featuring Bong, cast members, and scholar Tony Rayns; new interviews with Bong and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro; deleted scenes; a short film by Bong; and more. [Irma Vep]( Olivier Assayas’s live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of the classic silent crime serial Les vampires. Special Features: Interviews with Assayas, Cheung, and actor Nathalie Richard; an episode of Les vampires; an address on the state of cinema in 2020 by Assayas; and more. [History Is Made at Night]( Given a palpable erotic charge by the chemistry between Charles Boyer and Jean Arthur, this delirious romantic vision passes through a dizzying array of tonal shifts, smoothly guided by director Frank Borzage’s unwavering allegiance to the power of love. Special Features: A conversation between Borzage biographer Hervé Dumont and film historian Peter Cowie, an interview with critic Farran Smith Nehme, and more. [Masculin féminin]( With Masculin féminin, the iconoclastic Jean-Luc Godard introduced the world to “the children of Marx and Coca-Cola,” through a gang of restless youths engaged in hopeless love affairs with music, revolution, and one another. Special Features: Interviews with Godard, actor Chantal Goya, cinematogapher Willy Kurant, and filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin; a conversation between critics Freddy Buache and Dominique Païni; and more. [The Furies]( Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston are at their fierce finest in master Hollywood craftsman Anthony Mann’s crackling western melodrama, an often-overlooked treasure of American filmmaking.
