Five Best Digital Releases 2021 (for Sight and Sound)

Alphabetical order:

  1. 24 Frames (Potemkine Films, dual format)
  2. Center Stage (Film Movement, DVD & Blu-Ray)
  3. Citizen Kane (Criterion, UHD + Blu-Ray)
  4. The Complete Films of Agnes Varda (Criterion, Blu-Ray)
  5. Thunderbolt (Kino Lorber, DVD & Blu-Ray)

I contributed half an audiocommentary (with James Naremore) to Citizen Kane that I haven’t yet heard (Sight and Sound’s deadline precedes its release by two weeks), but I’ve already been able to see and hear The Complete ‘Citizen Kane’ (1991)–a BBC documentary included in the package–that alone warrants my inclusion of this release here, ‘conflict of interest’ be damned. I’m also very much looking forward to hearing the audiocommentaries on Alias Nick Beal and Night Has a Thousand Eyes (both from Kino Lorber),by Eddie Muller and Imogen Sara Smith, respectively.
