| | Description: | Established by Martin Scorsese in 2007, the World Cinema Project expands the horizons of moviegoers everywhere. The mission of the WCP is to preserve and present marginalized and infrequently screened films from regions of the world ill equipped to provide funding for major restorations. This collectors set brings together six superb films from various countries, including Bangladesh/India (A RIVER CALLED TITAS), Mexico (REDES), Morocco (TRANCES), Senegal (TOUKI BOUKI), South Korea (THE HOUSEMAID), and Turkey (DRY SUMMER); each is a cinematic revelation, depicting a culture not often seen by outsiders."Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project" on Blu-ray by Criterion is a prestigious, carefully curated collection dedicated to preserving and showcasing films from underrepresented regions and cinematic traditions across the globe. Overseen and presented by Martin Scorsese, one of the most influential directors in film history, this edition brings together restorations of important works that were long difficult or impossible to see in high quality. Criterion is renowned for its meticulous restorations, authoritative supplements, and cinephile-focused editions, and this release continues that tradition with high-definition transfers, thoughtful contextual material, and elegant packaging.
Martin Scorsese's World Cinema initiative focuses on rescuing and restoring films that represent the cultural, historical, and aesthetic richness of world cinema, often from countries and filmmakers that have been neglected by mainstream distribution. This Blu-ray edition offers viewers the opportunity to discover landmark works that broaden the understanding of film beyond the established canon, often accompanied by introductions or program notes that explain their importance and production context.
Criterion is a leading boutique label in home entertainment, known for its commitment to film history, technical excellence, and scholarly depth. Since the LaserDisc era, the company has pioneered high-quality transfers, commentary tracks, and curated editions that highlight both classic and contemporary cinema. Collectors and cinephiles value Criterion releases for their reliable quality, extensive research, and respect for directors' original visions.
Martin Scorsese, the driving force behind this project, is the Academy Award-winning director of "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," "The Departed," "The Wolf of Wall Street," "The Irishman," and many other modern classics. Beyond his own directing achievements, Scorsese has become one of the most important advocates for film preservation worldwide, founding organizations and initiatives dedicated to saving and restoring films from every continent. Many of the filmmakers and performers featured in the World Cinema Project have made major contributions to their national cinemas, with films that have screened at important festivals and influenced generations of artists, but their work has often been difficult to access internationally. This collection helps to remedy that gap, giving audiences and scholars a vital resource for discovering celebrated directors, significant actors, and historically important productions that helped shape the evolution of cinema around the world. | | | Actors: |
