The Criterion Closet Is Going on a Nationwide Road Trip to Celebrate 40 Years

Bill Hader has some big news on behalf of Criterion: The famed Criterion Closet is going on a nationwide road trip.

After social media sleuths spotted a Criterion-branded van on the street, IndieWire can announce that the Criterion Closet is in fact going on the road. (To note, there is a very real actual closet that the collection is housed in usually.)

Criterion has built a replica of their famous film closet inside an 18-foot delivery van and will be taking their Criterion Closet Picks show across the U.S., starting in New York City at the New York Film Festival on September 28 and 29, plus October 5 and 6. In the below video, Hader announces the national tour.

From thedigitalbits.com website

Also today, this isn’t official certainly but it’s a piece of information from our industry sources that I’ve actually been sitting on for a while now: Miramax (via Paramount) has licensed one of my favorite films, Anthony Minghella’s The English Patient (1996), to Criterion. This makes perfect sense, as the label previously released it on LaserDisc way back in 1997. So look for remastered Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD editions to arrive in 2025.

‘Flow’ Will Join the Criterion Collection Later This Year with 4K Special Edition

If you haven’t seen Gints Zilbalodis’s wondrous “Flow,” IndieWire’s pick for the best animated movie of 2024 (and the highest-ranked animated film on our list of the best movies of 2024), you’re going to have another very exciting way to see it later this year: “Flow,” a Sideshow and Janus Films release, is entering the Criterion Collection and will available in a 4K special edition to own at home.

One of the most acclaimed films of the past year across the board, “Flow” has earned two Academy Award nominations: for Best Animated Feature and Best International Feature — only one other film has ever scored nominations in both categories, 2021’s “Flee.” It also just won the Annie Awards for Best Animated Feature (Independent) and Best Writing.

“It’s an absolute dream come true to see ‘Flow’ featured in the Criterion Collection alongside the legendary filmmakers I grew up admiring, like Cuarón, Anderson, and Scorsese,” Zilbalodis said in a statement. “I can’t thank Criterion enough for this incredible honor! I’m thrilled to collaborate with them on the ultimate 4K special edition of ‘Flow.’ I have so much great stuff to share. It’s going to be amazing!”
