The Thin Red Line (Blu-ray) is Terrence Malick’s poetic and meditative take on the horrors of war, based on James Jones’s novel and featuring a powerhouse ensemble cast. Originally released in 1998, this critically acclaimed film follows a group of U.S. soldiers during the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II. With stunning cinematography, a haunting score by Hans Zimmer, and Malick's signature philosophical narration, this is a war film unlike any other—elegiac, harrowing, and deeply human. Restored and released by the Criterion Collection, this edition is the definitive way to experience this modern classic.
