Description: Being There (Criterion Collection) [New Blu-ray] Title: Being There (Criterion Collection) Format: Blu-ray Label: Criterion Collection Genre: Comedy Video UPC: 715515195218 Release Date: 2017 Being There (Criterion Collection) 1979 Blu-ray In one of his most finely tuned performances, Peter Sellers (The Pink Panther) plays the pure-hearted Chance, a gardener forced out of moneyed seclusion and into the urban wilds of Washington, D.C., after the death of his employer. Shocked to discover that the real world doesn’t respond to the click of a remote, Chance stumbles haplessly into celebrity after being taken under the wing of a tycoon (Oscar winner Melvyn Douglas), who mistakes his new protégé’s mumbling about horticulture for sagacious pronouncements on life and politics, and whose wife (The Apartment’s Shirley MacLaine) targets Chance as the object of her desire. Adapted from a novel by Jerzy Kosinski, this hilarious, deeply melancholy satire marks the culmination a remarkable string of films by Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude) in the 1970s, and serves as a carefully modulated examination of the ideals, anxieties, and media-fueled delusions that shaped American culture during that decade.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew, restored 4K digital transfer, supervised by cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackNew documentary on the making of the film, featuring interviews with members of theproduction teamExcerpts from a 1980 American Film Institute seminar with director Hal AshbyAuthor Jerzy Kosinksi in a 1979 appearance on The Dick Cavett ShowAppearances from 1980 by actor Peter Sellers on NBC’s Today and The Don Lane ShowPromo reel featuring Sellers and AshbyTrailer and TV spotsDeleted scene, outtakes, and an alternate endingPLUS: An essay by critic Mark Harris"DIRECTOR: Hal AshbyFEATURES:COMEDYWIDESCREENCOLORASPECT RATIO: 1.85:1UNCOMPRESSED MONAURAL PCM130 MinutesLANGUAGES: ENGLISHRATED: PG© DirectToU LLC.
