The work of Steven Soderbergh transcends genre and has been a lynchpin in defining modern cinema.
Known for mastering both intimate dramas and blockbuster epics, Soderbergh’s inventive, bold style of storytelling saw him win the Palme d’Or for his 1989 directorial debut, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, and the Academy Award for Best Director for Traffic (2000). He continues to push boundaries and break the mould today.
This 4K UHD + Blu-ray collection brings together key directorial efforts from one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers of recent decades:
• Kafka (1991 Original Theatrical Cut) / Mr. Kneff (2021 Director’s Re-Cut) – Worldwide 4K UHD and Blu-ray Debuts
• King of the Hill (1993) – Blu-ray
• The Underneath (1995) – Blu-ray
Kafka (1991) / Mr. Kneff (2021) – Imprint Collection #637
WORLDWIDE 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY DEBUTS!
Soderbergh followed his acclaimed directorial debut, Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), with the surrealist mystery thriller biopic Kafka (1991). This subversive take on the life of author Franz Kafka blends reality and Kafka’s own fictional works into a unique, bizarre world.
After a colleague is murdered, insurance worker Kafka becomes embroiled in an underground group attempting to thwart a secret organisation that controls major events in society.
Starring Jeremy Irons as Kafka, with performances from Theresa Russell, Joel Grey, Ian Holm, and Alec Guinness, the once box-office flop has since developed into a cult classic.
In 2021, Soderbergh premiered his long-planned re-cut and reimagined version of the film, titled Mr. Kneff, transforming the picture into a silent, sepia-tinted, shortened vision accompanied by an energetic contemporary score. Appearing here on disc for the first time worldwide, Mr. Kneff demonstrates Soderbergh’s enthusiasm for embracing the unexpected and revisiting previously closed doors.
Take a journey into Kafka’s absurd, dystopian psychological labyrinth—a must-see gem for fans of Brazil (1985), 1984 (1984), and They Live (1988). Both versions arrive on 4K UHD for the first time worldwide in stunning new 4K restorations and also make their global Blu-ray debuts.
