Take Out - The Criterion Collection

£22.99

Released: 17th October 2022. The American dream has rarely seemed so far away as in the raw, vérité Take Out, by SEAN BAKER (The Florida Project) and SHIH-CHING TSOU (producer, Tangerine), an immersion in the life of an undocumented Chinese immigrant struggling to get by on the margins of post 9/11 New York City. Facing violent retaliation from a loan shark, restaurant delivery man Ming Ding (CHARLES JANG) has until nightfall to pay back the money he owes, and he encounters both crushing setbacks and moments of unexpected humanity as he races against time to earn enough in tips over the course of a frantic day. From this simple setup, Baker and Tsou fashion a kind of neorealist survival thriller of the everyday, shedding compassionate light on the too often overlooked lives and labor that keep New York running. BONUS FEATURES SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by directors Sean Baker and Shih-Ching Tsou, with uncompressed stereo soundtrack Audio commentary featuring Baker, Tsou, and actor Charles Jang New interviews with Baker, Tsou, Jang, and actors Wang-Thye Lee and Jeng-Hua Yu Program about the making of the film Deleted scenes Screen test Trailer New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by filmmaker and author J.
