Beasts of No Nation - The Criterion Collection

£17.99

Released: 27th September 2021. The nightmare of war is seen through the eyes of one of its most tragic casualties—a child soldier— in this harrowing vision of innocence lost from CARY JOJI FUKUNAGA (True Detective). Based on the acclaimed novel by Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation unfolds in an unnamed, civil war-torn West African country, where the young Agu (ABRAHAM ATTAH, in a haunting debut performance) witnesses carnage in his village before becoming the captive of a band of rebel soldiers led by a ruthless commander (an explosive IDRIS ELBA [The Wire]), who moulds the boy into a hardened killer. Fukunaga’s relentlessly roving camera work and stunning visuals realism so intensely visceral it borders on the surreal—immerse the viewer in a world of unimaginable horror without ever losing sight of the powerful human story at its centre. DIRECTOR APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • 2K digital master, approved by director Cary Joji Fukunaga, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack • New audio commentary featuring Fukunaga and first assistant director Jon Mallard • Two new documentaries on the development and making of the film, featuring interviews with Fukunaga; author Uzodinma Iweala; actors Idris Elba and Abraham Attah; and producers Amy Kaufman, Daniela Taplin Lundberg, and Riva Marker • New conversation between Fukunaga and producer and cultural commentator Franklin Leonard • New interview with costume designer Jenny Eagan • Trailer • English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • English descriptive audio • PLUS: An essay by film critic Robert Daniels
