This is the definitive counterculture blockbuster. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star DENNIS HOPPER (Blue Velvet), Easy Rider heralded the arrival of a new voice in film, one pitched angrily against the mainstream. After the film's cross-country journey with its radical, New Wave-style editing, outsider-rock soundtrack, revelatory performance by a young JACK NICHOLSON (Five Easy Pieces), and explosive ending the American road trip would never be the same.

Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider is one of greatest motorcycle films to date. It contains a rich subtext on American civilisation in the sixties as it explores freedom and what it means, whilst shining it under a critical light, thus shining a critical light on the heart of America. This criterion collection contains a neat booklet filled with behind the scene information and photographs. Despite this being in 2K resolution; it looks unreal. The colours rip off the screen and sound of motorbikes/soundtrack roar with the appropriate sound system. Definitely worth collecting, especially with this delightful box art.
When you have a classic movie you are looking to own forever, you want the best and most comprehensive version possible, which this Criterion version is. What you have here is one of the coolest and probably most cult film of all time, a tale of outlaw drug mules on a journey across America and across their own consciousness. Wonderfully shot and wonderfully produced. Easy Rider is a must for all film fans or just fans of cult cinema.
It is a Criterion release. It`s expensive but worth it. The best of the best.
