New on Blu-ray: CHILLY SCENES OF WINTER (1979) Starring John Heard and Mary Beth Hurt - Criterion Collection

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: The trailblazing Joan Micklin Silver—one of only five women to direct a film for a Hollywood studio in the 1970s—digs fearlessly into the psychology of a thorny relationship in this anti–romantic comedy, based on Ann Beattie’s best-selling novel, about lovelorn civil servant Charles (John Heard) and his married-but-separated coworker Laura (Mary Beth Hurt). Months after their affair has ended, Charles is haunted by memories as he desperately attempts to rekindle a love that perhaps never was. Switching deftly between past and present, Micklin Silver guides this piercing deconstruction of male wish-fulfillment fantasy beyond standard movie-romance tropes into something more complicated and cuttingly truthful.

DVD & Blu-ray: INTERIORS (1978) Starring Diane Keaton, Kristin Griffith and Mary Beth Hurt

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: An “intensely provocative...[and] searing dissection of human behavior” (New York Daily News), Interiors marked a cinematic watershed for Woody Allen. In his first serious drama, Allen’s interest in the human condition was not purely farcical and not limited to quick-wit and slapstick gags. Exploring the dynamics of a family in crisis, Interiors is “destined to become a landmark of American filmmaking” (The Hollywood Reporter). When Eve (Geraldine Page), an interior designer, is deserted by Arthur (E.G. Marshall), her husband of many years, the emotionally glacial relationships of their three grown daughters are laid bare. Twisted by jealousy, insecurity and resentment, Renata (Diane Keaton), a successful writer, Flyn (Kristin Griffith), a woman crippled by indecision, and Joey (Mary Beth Hurt), a budding actress, struggle to communicate for the sake of their shattered mother. But when their father unexpectedly falls for another woman (Maureen Stapleton), his decision to remarry sets in motion a terrible twist of fate...with tragically unexpected consequences.
