Paper Moon (4k) (Wbr) (Dol) (Sgnl) (Sub) (Ws)

Super cute movie and I can see why Tatum O'Neal won her Academy Award for her spitfire role. Item was well packaged and comes in the regular Criterion digipak packaging, regular Bluray incl as well.

Pésima la calidad de los productos que envía Amazon. ¡SIEMPRE TIENEN ALGÚN TIPO DE DAÑO Y NO HACEN NADA POR RESOLVERLO! Hasta parece que les gusta que las personas les devuelvan lo que compran.

I’ve been eager to get my hands on this ever since hearing Criterion would be releasing a long-awaited 4k Blu-ray edition of Paper Moon, a title neglected for years with only a measly DVD release back in 2003 to show for it. It has been literal decades of waiting for it to finally land on blu-ray, but much like The Last Picture Show, it wouldn't be until Criterion that this film finally gets the high-definition release it deserves. This film has always been a sentimental favorite of mine, and just might also be the most unassuming classic of Peter Bogdanovich's filmography. Much praise could be given to the immediately preceding films that he did in the early seventies, The Last Picture Show and What's Up, Doc? But in many ways, Paper Moon is the apotheosis of its two older siblings. Its stark and crisp black-and-white cinematography and quiet desperation seeping throughout is reminiscent of The Last Picture Show, whereas its jubilant comedic beats--especially when Madeline Kahn is on-screen--recalls the most joyous moments of What's Up, Doc?. This film is Bogdanovich at his most self-assured, the most fluent and agile he has ever been at emulating the language of the films and auteurs that inspired him. For a film that came out in 1973, it is impressive and startling how Paper Moon looks and feels like something belonging to the 1930s. There is hardly a wrong note in this film and it is as timeless now as it was then. I'm also impressed with the attention Criterion paid to the packaging. The disc tray design is a cute nod to Addie's cigar box and it also includes a postcard replica of the photo of Addie in the film. Instead of a booklet like most standard Criterion releases, this edition's film essay and film credits are collected in a lovely pamphlet fold-out evocative of a 1930s publication. It's all so purposeful and well-thought out. I really can't recommend this release more highly.

If you’ve seen this movie before then you know how much fun it is. If you haven’t seen it then you’re in for a treat. Ryan and Tatum O’Neal are a fantastic onscreen paring. And Tatum steals every screen she’s in with the notable exception of the “You’re gonna ruin it, ain’t cha” scene with Madeline Kahn. The story takes place during The Great Depression in the Dust Bowl of mid U.S. and it accurately depicts the desolation of the time and place, but offers a view not found elsewhere in film or literature. The video quality is first rate. Yes, it’s black and white, but color would’ve ruined it. Criterion did an excellent job in this release. It’s UHD 4k with plenty of extras including a 3-part documentary. They’ve even recreated Addie’s precious cigar box. I’ve started a small collection of videos that I feel are worth owning, movies that I’d want to watch again and again. This is one of them.

Beautiful film. Great picture quality. Wonderful extras.
