{"product_id":"0037429149423","title":"The Element of Crime [Criterion Collection]","description":"\"Before the back-to-basics approach of the \u003ci\u003eDogma 95\u003c\/i\u003e manifesto, director Lars Von Trier was enamored by the tricks of filmmaking. His first feature, The Element of Crime, is an amber-soaked visual feast. With its distinctive color scheme, previous transfers of the film have been a muddy mess, making for a less than satisfying home-viewing experience. With this release from The Criterion Collection, the images have been restored splendidly. The film is presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and is 16 x 9 enhanced. The soundtrack is in its original mono, so some of the dialogue competes with the rain-soaked sets, but much of that problem can be abated by enabling the English subtitles. The disc also features color bars, a theatrical trailer, and a documentary on the filmmaker. Entitled \"\"Transformer: A Portrait of Lars Von Trier,\"\" it is a candid examination of his career consisting of numerous on-camera interviews with Von Trier and those who have worked on his films, as well as on-set footage of his breakthrough film Breaking the Waves. Though short on supplemental features, the print quality makes this disc another flawless presentation from Criterion.\"","brand":"David Stoppa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084806078704,"sku":"0037429149423","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0037429149423_p0.jpg?v=1763295200","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0037429149423","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
