What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes a surreal, ambiguous story involving an enigmatic stranger, claimed Aboriginal magic, and a deadly scream. Its unsettling tone may not suit viewers seeking straightforward drama. The listed dimensions and weight appear unusually small for a Blu-ray package, so treat them as listing details rather than a confirmed case measurement.

A good fit for

Criterion Collection buyers interested in Jerzy Skolimowski’s film and its director-approved restoration.
Viewers drawn to psychologically unsettling stories and film-history extras.
Buyers who want English subtitles and a surround soundtrack.

Less suited to

Viewers looking specifically for 4K UHD, since this listing identifies the format as Blu-ray.
