Criterion Collection - Velvet Underground/dvd - DVD

Their infusion of avant-garde sensibilities into an NYC garage band ethos guaranteed Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Mo Tucker an influence that would long outstrip their '60s-'70s recording run. Writer/director Todd Haynes has rendered an appropriately trippy documentary tribute to The Velvet Underground, juxtaposing the observations of surviving members Cale and Tucker and many contemporaries and fans with copious performance footage and clips from experimental cinema of the era. 121 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; outtakes; short films; more. Two-disc set.
