The Prince of Tides - The Criterion Collection

Released: 27th April 2020. For her acclaimed second feature as a director, BARBRA STREISAND (Yentl) crafted a sumptuous, emotionally wrenching adaptation of PAT CONROY’s bestselling novel—which she also produced and starred in. Summoned to New York after his sister attempts suicide, Tom Wingo (Cape Fear’s NICK NOLTE) must serve as her memory, reckoning with the traumas of their southern childhood so that her psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Lowenstein (Streisand), can help her recover. But Tom’s sessions with Lowenstein will plunge him into the depths of his own longrepressed pain—and reawaken the possibility of love within him. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture and best actor for Nolte’s soulful performance, The Prince of Tides is a life-affirming tale of healing and renewal from a triple-threat filmmaker with a keen and humane insight into her characters’ sorrows, joys, and yearnings.  DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, supervised by director Barbra Streisand, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack Audio commentary featuring Streisand, recorded in 1991 and updated in 2019  Making-of featurette  Excerpt from a 2018 interview with Streisand, conducted by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez on El Rey Network’s The Director’s Chair  Audition and rehearsal footage  Deleted scenes and alternate takes  Costume and makeup tests  Alternate end credits with vocal performance by Streisand Behind-the-scenes footage Gag reel Production-stills gallery and other archival materials  Interview with author Pat Conroy from a 1992 episode of Cinema Showcase with Jim Whaley  Interview with Streisand from a 1992 episode of the British television show Aspel & Company with Michael Aspel Notes from Conroy to Streisand Trailers  PLUS: An essay by film historian Bruce Eder
