Criterion’s The Irishman Bluray (out 11.24.00), probably my favorite film of 2019, contains a new 4K digital master, approved by director Martin Scorsese, with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. It comes out 4 days after my birthday. Currently, I have a DVD screener from Netflix but the Bluray cover art looks so much nicer. To be honest, I’m only really interested in the Bluray for the bonus features. The DVD is filled with features including a newly edited roundtable conversation with Scorsese and actors, a documentary about the making of, a program on the visual effects created for the film, and archival interview excerpts with Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa. Yes, most of these things can be found on YouTube but come on look at that cover art. Maybe I should just get a poster made instead…
