Internationally beloved masterpieces, an American documentary landmark, a chilling Hollywood crime classic — Criterion’s November release slate is a reminder of the breadth of the Criterion Collection. Fans of golden-age cinema won’t want to be without “The Apu Trilogy,” the staggering career-defining works by the great Indian director Satyajit Ray, now miraculously restored after their negatives were burned in a fire; according to the Village Voice, “The beauty of this restoration may be enough to move you to tears.” For music lovers, Criterion has the ultimate Bob Dylan documentary, D. A. Pennebaker’s “Dont Look Back,” in a deluxe edition with restored picture and sound. For true-crime junkies, there’s Richard Brooks’s unforgettable, Oscar-nominated adaptation of Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood.” For those into the best of contemporary drama, Criterion offers the superb “Code Unknown,” starring Juliette Binoche and directed by Michael Haneke, both Oscar winners. All that plus a new edition of the heartrending classic “Ikiru,” directed by the one and only Akira Kurosawa.
