<br>by Joe Pettit, Jr.</font>

The Criterion Collection has recently released on DVD two of their more noteworthy collaborations from the mid-1970s, <i>The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum</i>, based on a novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Heinrich Boll, and <i>Coup de Grace</i>, based on Marguerite Yourcenar's novel.
