Biography
The Criterion Collection, Inc. is an American home entertainment distribution company that focuses on licensing, restoring, and distributing "important classic and contemporary films". A "sister company" of arthouse film distributor Janus Films, Criterion serves film and media scholars, cinephiles, and public and academic libraries. Criterion has helped to standardize certain aspects of home-video releases such as film restoration, the letterboxing format for widescreen films, and the inclusion of bonus features such as scholarly essays and documentary content about the films and filmmakers. Criterion most notably pioneered the use of commentary tracks. Criterion has produced and distributed more than 1,500 special editions of its films in VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc, DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray formats and box sets. The Criterion Collection includes titles by some 600 directors from more than 50 countries. Many of these films and their special features are also available via the Criterion Channel, an online streaming service the company has operated since April of 2019.
