Boutique labels and distributors craft premium editions of films on physical media, elevating the home viewing experience with meticulous attention to detail. These releases shine through superior picture and sound quality, stunning packaging, and a wealth of extras, including alternate film cuts, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and collectible booklets packed with essays, interviews, and expert commentary.
