DVD & Blu-ray: EASY RIDER (1969) - Criterion Collection

easy-rider-1969-new-on-criterion-collection-blu-ray

Product Description: This is the definitive counterculture blockbuster. The down-and-dirty directorial debut of former clean-cut teen star Dennis Hopper, 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, and explosive ending — the American road trip would never be the same.
