On DVD: GATES OF HEAVEN

Now available on DVD and Blu-Ray in a new edition: GATES OF HEAVEN

Errol Morris’ poignant meditation on pet cemeteries screened in the New York Film Festival in 1978. The film went on to a successful theatrical release, despite Werner Herzog’s playful chiding, as documented in the late Les Blank’s WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE. Criterion now re-releases the film in a “director-approved” box set edition with special features, including Blank’s short, together with the Morris’ 1981 VERNON, FLORIDA.

I previously wrote about the doc here.
