Product Description
One of the most beloved American films of all time, The Graduate earned Mike Nichols a best director Oscar, brought the music of Simon & Garfunkel to a wider audience, and introduced the world to a young actor named Dustin Hoffman. Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion and barely contained angst when he becomes sexually involved with the middle-aged mother (Anne Bancroft) of the young woman he s dating (Katharine Ross). Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a clever, endlessly quotable script by Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles Webb), The Graduate had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation.

"Fully restored" has become a marketing cliche, but this one is for real and should be called a "super restoration." In fact, this blu-ray puts the original 1967 theatrical run to shame. Back then, many theaters suffered with worn imperfect prints, old lenses, damaged screens, or masking that sacrificed parts of the picture information. Now, the sharpness, contrast, and color register the lushness that was on the original negative, the sound is rich and clear, and the proper camera composition is fully visible in the correct dimensions. Viewers who are familiar with this movie may see content and meaning that weren't apparent before, such as very subtle nuances in facial expressions and tiny details in actors' eyes. The Criterion folks deserve credit for going the extra mile on the restoration, because care and attention to detail make a big difference.
So The Graduate now feels like a new experience. The casting, direction, acting, lighting, composition, music, and camera work of course were always outstanding. It's still remarkable how Mike Nichols used long takes, all four corners of the Panavision screen, and movement of the actors in lieu of conventional over-the-shoulder back-and-forth cutting. (The sheer artistry of the long takes and use of set-depth calls to mind Citizen Kane.)
The storyline provides 100% entertainment on one viewing, but the technical beauty sustains a second viewing, then Commentary Track 1, then Commentary Track 2. The numerous supplementary materials provide deeper understanding of the remarkable effort that went into casting, rehearsals, coaching the actors, scouting the locations, and using "practical effects." For instance, car driving scenes, crowd scenes, night scenes, views through glass windows, and rain were all done as practicals, without green screens, CGI, stabilizer gyros, or similar technology. They really, really don't make them like this anymore!
The Graduate was clearly a labor of love and team artistry by Mike Nichols, cast and crew. If you are a fan of this movie, this Criterion blu-ray is the crisp, clear, colorful, beautiful version you have been waiting for.

Indeed, after being dazzled, many may realize that the story is nothing new : Molière ended up marrying his lover’s daughter and so did Balzac’s famous character Eugène de Rastignac. Also, the storyline is streamlined to its main characters who have no friends, siblings or other confidants. The protagonists and the plot are not developed as they could have been. Why is Benjamin depressed from the start? Who are the guests at the graduation and birthday parties and why is no one of Benjamin’s age? What field did he graduate in? What is Elaine studying? Has Mrs. Robinson been involved in other affairs? Is she currently pursuing any other???
The film is complemented with abundant, well chosen and revealing bonuses that include a 1966 interview of the director by Barbara Walters and one of Paul Simon made by Dick Tanet in 1970.

Eindeutig viel besser als die aktuelle "deutsche" Blu-Ray, die lieblos nur die deutsche Tonspur hat und bei der man offenbar gar die originale (englische) Sprachfassung "vergaß". Dazu ist der Preis gut und diese BlueRay läuft mühelos:
