To Die For (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray)

An acerbic look at pop celebrity and the drive for fame, this wickedly funny black comedy from scripter Buck Henry and director Gus Van Sant stars Nicole Kidman as a media-obsessed, would-be TV journalist in a small New England town. Eager for success and unwilling to settle for husband Matt Dillon's vision of family life, Kidman seduces a high school student and convinces him to murder her "abusive" spouse. With Joaquin Phoenix, Illeana Douglas. 106 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary by Van Sant, others; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer; essay.
