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.
Renowned boutique labels like The Criterion Collection, Eureka! Masters of Cinema, and Indicator set the standard for cinephiles. Emerging in the late 1970s and early 1980s alongside the VHS boom, distributors have since evolved to champion Blu-ray and 4K UHD formats.
