The Devil’s Backbone (Guillermo del Toro)
Yes, it’s an abnormally dry week in terms of DVD/Blu-ray releases, but thankfully the one film we’re featuring is well worth picking up. If you, like us, were disappointed by Guillermo del Toro‘s big-budget spectacle Pacific Rim earlier this month, then look no further than his 2001 drama The Devil’s Backbone. Coming to The Criterion Collection today in a new, restored 2K digital film transfer, supervised by del Toro and director of photography Guillermo Navarro, it’s a striking early work from the filmmaker, complete with scares and genuinely fleshed out characters. Also including a making-of documentary and commentary from the director, it’s a must-buy during the Barnes & Noble sale.
