Description: Canoa: A Shameful Memory (Criterion Collection) [Used Very Good Blu-ray] Title: Canoa: A Shameful Memory (Criterion Collection) Format: Blu-ray Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Foreign-Spanish, Drama UPC: 715515195010 Release Date: 2017 Canoa: A Shameful Memory (Criterion Collection) One of Mexico's most highly regarded works of political cinema for the audaciousness of it's attack on the Catholic Church, Canoa: A Shameful Memory reimagines a real-life massacre that occurred in 1968, eight years before the film's release, when a group of urban university employees on a hiking trip were viciously attacked by residents of the isolated village of San Miguel de Canoa, who mistook them for communist revolutionaries. Intercutting depictions of the days in the workers' lives leading up to their journey and footage from a fictional documentary about the village and the autocratic priest who governs it with the scenes of the atrocity itself, director Felipe Cazals (Las inocentes) creates a terrifying sense of menace, capped by a gruesome denouement. Adopting a gritty newsreel style, Canoa is a daring historical document and a visceral expression of horror.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew, restored 4K digital transfer, supervised by director Felipe Cazals, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackNew introduction by filmmaker Guillermo del ToroNew conversation between filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón and CazalsTrailerNew English subtitle translationPLUS: An essay by critic Fernanda SolórzanoDETAILS:Language: SpanishSubtitles: EnglishNumber of discs: 1Run Time: 115 minutesSpecial Edition Blu-ray© DirectToU LLC.
