Laurie Anderson's 2015 film Heart of a Dog will receive its Criterion Collection release on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 6, 2016, available to pre-order now in the Criterion Shop. The soundtrack for the film, which contains the full audio recording of the film, including all music and spoken text, was released on Nonesuch Records last year and is available on iTunes and in the Nonesuch Store.

The film, Anderson's first in 30 years, is a personal essay encompassing joy and heartbreak and remembering and forgetting, at the heart of which is a lament for her late beloved dog Lolabelle. It was released in cinemas across the United States last year and in the UK and Europe this year to critical acclaim, with the New York Times calling it "wildly inventive ... philosophically astute, emotionally charged" and including it among the year's best films, and the Times of London calling it "a work of mastery: thought-provoking, smart and incredibly moving."

Features on the special-edition Criterion Collection release includes a high-definition digital master, a new conversation between Anderson and coproducer Jake Perlin, and footage of her 2016 Concert for Dogs, plus an essay by film critic Glenn Kenny. You can watch the film's trailer below.

Laurie Anderson and Philip Glass present their evening performance at the Sunset Center in Carmel, California, next Friday, September 23. Anderson gives a free talk at Stony Brook University on Long Island the following week. For additional details and dates, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
