If Jimmy and the ‘good cop’ Hal are taken as decent guys, it’s only because they’re ashamed of their porcine heritage. An unspoken but strongly felt idea is that Thelma and Louise would do very well as a same-sex couple, if society would permit — and if they could have male company on their terms. Men in general are depressing disappointments. This is a rather bright film that strives to create the look and feel of filmmaker Ridley Scott’s vision. The restored video quality presented in this Ultra HD rendering is something to behold. Thelma & Louise is a beautifully crafted film from a visual standpoint. Adrian Biddle’s terrific cinematography benefits from the enhanced resolution and enriching color. Ploughman – In 1968, Ridley and Tony Scott founded Ridley Scott Associates (RSA), a film and commercial production company. At RSA, Ridley Scott made thousands of advertisements, including several for Guinness. This ad was released in 1977.
NEW Callie Khouri (HD, 20 min) is an interview with the screenwriter talking about the story, influences and the film's reception since the production's original theatrical run.

Two women, a turquoise Thunderbird, the ride of a lifetime. With this pop-culture landmark, screenwriter Callie Khouri and action auteur Ridley Scott rewrote the rules of the road movie, telling the story of two best friends who find themselves transformed into accidental fugitives during a weekend getaway gone wrong—leading them on a high-speed southwestern odyssey as they elude police and discover freedom on their own terms. Propelled by irresistible performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis (plus Brad Pitt in a sexy, star-making turn)—and nominated for six Academy Awards, winning one for Khouri—the exhilaratingly cathartic Thelma & Louise stands as cinema’s ultimate ode to ride-or-die female friendship.
Storyboards: The Final Chase (1080o; 5:50): A side-by-side comparison of the storyboards and the actual footage for the final chase. Also includes the option to view the storyboards independently. Starring: Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brad Pitt, Ken Swofford. Each supporting performance is superb. Timothy Carhart, as the would-be rapist, oozes a claustrophobic entitlement in every physical gesture towards Thelma. Harvey Keitel, as the cop slowly putting together the narrative of what the women have done, evinces empathy... to a point. (These are still "girls," after all.) Both Michael Madsen and a startlingly tiny Brad Pitt are beefcake par excellence. And the magnificent Christopher McDonald gives one of my favourite comedy performances of all time, as Thelma's absolutely out-to-lunch loser of a husband. Audio Commentary with Director Ridley Scott: This is the same commentary included on previous releases, originally recorded in 2001. Of special interest is the uncut extended ending with the director’s comments. It’s a spectacular shot, and worth a debate about other possible ways to edit the finale. The entertaining Thelma & Louise will likely be remembered as a signal film for the early 1990s. It’s certainly a valid turnabout on the male buddy action picture.

Commentary Two - this archival audio commentary was recorded by Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, and screenwriter Callie Khouri in 2001. In all, I was thrilled with how this turned out. It’s a very sharp, clean presentation, delivering excellent detail levels and a healthy-looking grain. It’s rendered well, though looking at a few of the SDR screen captures I took, there are signs that some filtering or management has been done here and there, but I can’t say that it ever translated negatively to the screen in any way. It looks very sharp and crisp throughout. Criterion has ported much of what was included on previous releases, and added a few new ones as well. This is a 3-disc set with the movie on a UHD disc and Blu-ray, plus a Blu-ray of special features.
Great Deal
