Morvern's form of grieving will be bewildering and shocking to most. She keeps her boyfriend's death a secret. She passes off his just-finished novel as her own to publishers. She goes on holiday to Spain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqual parts road movie and character study, ‘Morvern Callar’ is as gripping and beautiful as it is dark and inscrutable. The ever-present and extraordinary soundtrack--stemming from a mixtape made for Morvern by her boyfriend, and including songs by Can, the Velvet Underground, Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Nancy \u0026amp; Lee and more--is masterfully and audaciously woven into the narrative, acting as a voice for a protagonist who often chooses to remain silent. The film's contrasting two main environments--cold, grey Scotland and arid, sunny southern Spain--are gorgeously captured by cinematographer Alwin Küchler (Ratcatcher, Steve Jobs). ‘Morvern Callar’ has been restored for this first-ever Blu-ray edition, presented in HD and loaded with bonus features, and is ready to bewitch again for its 20th Anniversary!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Audio commentary with Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson\u003cbr\u003e * Video essay by Chris O'Neill\u003cbr\u003e * U.S. theatrical trailer\u003cbr\u003e * U.K. theatrical trailer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e ★★★★.
