L'humanite (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray, 1999)

Description: L'humanité Criterion Collection Blu-ray The transcendent second feature by Bruno Dumont probes the wonder and horror of the human condition through the story of a profoundly alienated police detective (the indelibly sad-eyed Emmanuel Schotté, winner of an upset best actor prize at Cannes for his first film performance) who, while investigating the murder of a young girl, experiences jolting, epiphanous moments of emotional and physical connection. Demonstrating Dumont’s deftness with nonactors and relentlessly frank depiction of bodies and sexuality, L’humanité is at once an idiosyncratic police procedural and a provocative exploration of the tension between humankind’s capacity for compassion and our base, sometimes barbarous animal instincts.DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, approved by director Bruno Dumont, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-rayNew interview with DumontConversation between Dumont and critic Philippe Rouyer from 2014Segment from a 2000 episode of the French television program Tendances featuring actress Séverine CaneeleSegment from a 1999 French television-news program featuring DumontTrailerNew English subtitle translationPLUS: An essay by critic Nicholas ElliottNew cover by Vivienne FlesherPlease see all pictures and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
