Blood Simple_1

The Criterion Collection’s monthly line-ups are never a let-down, but every so often one comes along that truly drops your jaw. That’s the case in the just-announced September slate as we will finally get a restoration of Krzysztof Kieślowski‘s 10-part epic The Decalogue, as well as Coens‘ debut Blood Simple, a Valley of the Dolls double feature, Jacques Tourneur‘s Cat PeopleThe Story of the Last Chrysanthemum by Kenji Mizoguchi, and Carol Reed‘s Night Train to Munich.

Notable bonus features include restorations of A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love in the Kieślowski set, new interviews with the Coens and cast & crew for Blood Simple, Kent Jones‘ documentary Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows with Cat People, and more. Check out the line-up below and click each for full details.
