    Killers of the Flower Moon featuring Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio

    The Criterion Collection has announced six new titles to join the collection on 4K UHD and Blu-Ray in March: Viridiana (1961), Classe tous risques (1960), Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), Testament (1983), A Man and a Woman (1966), and The Blade (1995). These represent an irreverent portrait of life as a beggar’s banquet, a hard-boiled gangster noir, an epic elegy of greed and murder, a singular vision of life in the wake of nuclear devastation, one of the most intoxicating love stories ever told, and a tour de force of Hong Kong action cinema. Details on these films can be found below:

    Viridiana (4K UHD & Blu-Ray)

    Street Date: March 10, 2026

    Black and white close-up of a woman lying down with her eyes closed, adorned with flowers in her hair. The text reads "Viridiana, a film by Luis Buñuel." Criterion Collection spine 332.Synopsis: Banned in Spain and denounced by the Vatican upon its premiere, Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle (Fernando Rey) and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, Viridiana is as audacious today as ever.

    Street Date: March 17, 2026

    A grayscale gradient poster for the film "Testament" with bold white title text and a label indicating it is part of The Criterion Collection.Synopsis: Taking a hauntingly intimate approach to an often sensationalized subject, the singular Testament depicts one family’s daily life in the wake of nuclear devastation. After an atomic attack near her small California town, Carol Wetherly (Jane Alexander, in a fearlessly vulnerable, Oscar-nominated performance) must find the strength to care for her three children as the family contend with radiation sickness and the realization that their close-knit community will never be the same.

    Street Date: March 24, 2026

    Poster for "Killers of the Flower Moon" featuring animal skulls and bones arranged artistically on a dark background, with the film title and Criterion Collection label.Synopsis: An epic elegy of greed, betrayal, and murder, Martin Scorsese’s masterly adaptation of David Grann’s true-crime best seller unfolds in 1920s Oklahoma, where the discovery of oil brings extraordinary wealth to the Osage people. Into their world comes ne’er-do-well army veteran Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), who joins his duplicitous uncle (Robert De Niro) in a horrifying scheme to rob the Osage of their money and land. Lily Gladstone charges the film with her transcendent performance as Burkhart’s Osage wife, Mollie Kyle, gradually awakening to the evil that surrounds her.

    The Blade (4K UHD & Blu-Ray)

    Street Date: March 31, 2026

    A martial artist in brown robes wields a broken sword, with red slashes in the background. Text reads "The Blade" and "Directed by Tsui Hark." Criterion Collection label on the side.Synopsis: Among the boldest accomplishments of Hong Kong cinema’s golden age, this uniquely visceral martial-arts movie puts a gritty new spin on the story of the one-armed swordsman, an iconic figure from the moment he was introduced by the Shaw Brothers studio in 1967. Composed in a whirlwind of immersive close-ups and fractured editing, The Blade follows the young sword-maker Ding On (Vincent Zhao), who, after losing an arm in an ambush, transforms himself into a furious avenger. With its intentionally disorienting stylization and starkly brutal tone, The Blade was a rare commercial disappointment for Tsui Hark, but it has since been reclaimed as one of the director’s most radical visions—a tour de force of action expressionism, and a scathing reappraisal of the wuxia genre’s code of masculinity, that achieves a feverish intensity.

    4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES

    • New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
    • One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features
