Laurie Anderson's 2015 film Heart of a Dog receives its Criterion Collection release on Blu-Ray and DVD today, available 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.
