The Velvet Underground (The Criterion Collection) DVD

Emerging from the primordial soup of glamour, gutter sleaze, and feverish creativity that was New York’s 1960s underground culture, the Velvet Underground redefined music with its at once raw and exalted blend of experimentation and art-damaged rock and roll. In his kaleidoscopic documentary The Velvet Underground, Todd Haynes vividly evokes the band’s incandescent world: the creative origins of the twin visionaries Lou Reed and John Cale, Andy Warhol’s fabled Factory, and the explosive tension between pop and the avant-garde that propelled the group and ultimately consumed it. Never-before-seen performances, interviews, rare recordings, and mind-blowing transmissions from the era’s avant-garde cinema scene come together in an ecstatic swirl of sound and image that is to the traditional music documentary what the Velvets were to rock: utterly revolutionary.DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital master, approved by director Todd Haynes and cinematographer Ed Lachman, with 5.1 surround soundtrackAudio commentary featuring Haynes and editors Affonso Gonçalves and Adam KurnitzOuttakes of interviews shot for the film with musicians John Cale, Jonathan Richman, and Maureen Tucker; filmmaker Jonas Mekas; and actor Mary WoronovConversation from 2021 among Haynes, Cale, and TuckerComplete versions of some of the avant-garde films excerpted in the movie, including Piero Heliczer’s Venus in Furs (1965)TeaserEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingOptional annotated subtitle track that identifies the avant-garde films seen in the moviePLUS: A 2021 essay by critic Greil Marcus
