Lone Star - Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray

Author and director John Sayles is a keen observer of the social structure of the United States and reveals the haunted past buried beneath a small border town in Texas in this sprawling neo-western mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, launches an investigation that will have profound consequences both for him personally and for the entire Rio County, a place still haunted by its history of racial violence. Sayles' masterful film—a novel in its complexity and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson—quietly undermines the national myth and exposes the fault lines of life on the border.APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION New digital 4K restoration, supervised by director John Sayles and cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack[UHD ONLY] A 4K UHD disc featuring the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and a Blu-ray disc featuring the film and special features
