It reimagines the apocryphal story of the meeting of British explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) and Powhatan native Pocahontas (Q orianka Kilcher, in a revelatory performance) as a romantic idyll between spiritual equals, then follows Pocahontas through her marriage to John Rolfe (Christian Bale) and her life in England. With art director Jack Fisk s raw re-creation of the Jamestown colony, Emmanuel Lubezki s marvelous, naturally lit cinematography, and James Horner s soaring musical score, The New World is a film of uncommon power and technical splendor, one that shows Malick at the height of his visual and philosophical powers.

It's strange how over the years since then my mind has come back to this film, breaking through momentarily from my subconscious. And when I read a recent article in `The Guardian' newspaper by John Patterson that praised it as the best film of the decade, I knew I had to purchase it and relive it. (Note, this is the 130-minute version; the Blue ray disc lasts 170 minutes.) The opening is extremely evocative with a few shiploads of colonists slowly moving upriver to found the colony of Jamestown in the year 1607. Their journey is made to the sound of Wagner's opening to `Rhinegold'. In fact, there is a very effective use of music made throughout this film. And as the colonists fan out into the undergrowth after their landing, I could not help think of similar scenes in Malick's previous movie, `The Thin Red Line'. Indeed, the film adopts the same expressing of thoughts that was so much a feature of that moving motion picture. The film opens in 1607, but closes in the year 1616. Pocahontas has become Rebecca, a curiosity at the English court of King James I. Ultimately this is a love story between the American Indian Pocahontas and her two successive `husbands', Captain Smith (played by Colin Farrell) and then John Rolfe (Christian Bale). But the film is also a meditation on the founding of America. When one of the colonists within minutes finds some oysters, the captain declares, "We're going to live like kings!" How right - and how wrong - he was! This is no romanticised picture of the founding of Virginia. The extras on this disc merely confirm what can be deduced from the film itself, namely that every effort has been made to ensure the authenticity of the film's narrative and style. It was filmed barely miles form the site of the original colony with the ships of the colony's museum, and all in natural light. The pace is steady, sometimes slow, but never without interest. There are long periods with no dialogue except the expression of the mind's thoughts and feelings. Sometimes there is too much mumbling and there are also some visual inconsistencies, for example in the numbers of men and boys. The editing is often very jumpy, and I notice there are four editors credited, so it sometimes feels that you are watching four films in one. But because the soundtrack is continuous, there is a solidity to the audio-visual experience. The extras include an hour-long `making of ...' in which it seems everyone but the notoriously reclusive director has something interesting to say. In his `Guardian' article, James Patterson declared that "when all the middlebrow Oscar-dross of our time has eroded away ... `The New World' will stand tall, isolated and magnificent, like Kubrick's black monolith." I'm not sure I would go that far, but it certainly is a masterpiece; once seen, it will never be forgotten. Review: A metaphor of eternal struggle between sex, or of the double hypocrisy of western civilization? A unique film either way - Was it made by any other director, I would rate it 5 stars, for the visionary and incredible force of his visual and poetic touch. Being a Malick film, it is "Only" 4 stars, just because here Malick starts to become a little self-derivative, but still staying at such sublime heights that you can't help being amazed by his style. It is the second film he made after 20 years of silence, following, few years later, his magnificent return on the big screen with The Thin Red Line. The New World is a sort of sequel or prequel of that, although set in another story and time. It is made of the same stuff as the previous film and somehow even more extreme than that: a constant Voice over of the two main characters, that alternate and interweave with one another and with the unfolding of the story, mixing with the magnificent music and ambient sounds of the scenes, and creating, along with the wonderful photography that captures intimate moments as well as spectacular landscape and magic nature, a flow of consciousness suspended between beauty of purity and the sudden and shocking realism of human violence. The New World is the story of a slow, inevitable path to destruction cause by the irruption of civilization. But it is not so simple, because Colin Farrell and Colin Firth, the threat and the solution of the story, represent the two faces of western world, two sides of the same domination, one brought by violence, the other by culture. The latter, representing the old world, has to bitterly face with the former, trying to get wrong things right, but once the conquest has started, there is no way to stop it. And so Pochaontas get stuck in the middle, only left with the choice between one of the two cages. In a sense The New World is also a gigantic metaphor of human and sentimental relationships, with the woman torn between two ideal kind of men: the brutal and physical one and the more educated and rational one. So you can enjoy it on 2 different layers and decide if you want to approach it in an emotional way or a rational one. And this is one of the main values of this maybe unresolved but extremely fascinating and unique film, whose incredible cinematographic aspects are so perfectly exposed by the fantastic blu ray transfer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01EIGOFHU | | Audio Description: | English | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,335) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 35425806 | | Language | English | | Media Format | Blu-ray | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 167.83 g | | Release date | 26 July 2016 | | Run time | 2 hours and 52 minutes | | Studio | Criterion Collection | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 52 minutes ## Images ![CRITERION COLL: NEW WORLD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sjIASVb3L.jpg) ![CRITERION COLL: NEW WORLD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Bcdh7T-ZL.jpg) ![CRITERION COLL: NEW WORLD - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91W5MZIVlgL.jpg) ![CRITERION COLL: NEW WORLD - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BsUyEGY+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We're Going to Live Like Kings!" *by N***Y on 27 July 2010* I saw this film at the cinema when it was originally released, but it's taken me awhile to buy and play the DVD.

Its not trying to be. Its an experience, a beautiful piece of art that takes heavy inspiration from the history, and there is nothing wrong with that. I can still enjoy a more romanticized version of events, even if its not entirely accurate to the more unforgiving and harsh truth of what took place. As someone who loved the original Disney princess film i always wished for a live action adaption, and this is the closest thing to that. The extended cut is one of the most profoundly beautiful pieces of cinema i have ever witnessed. Its tragic, beautiful, emotional, and heartbreaking. The actress is absolutely breathtaking and does a phenomenal job at making the audience fall head over heels in love with her. The film delivers on a romanticized, yet tragic story of Pocahontas, the beauty and loss of our connection with nature, and creates a magnificent and emotional journey. I must recommend the extended cut of the film though. There are 3 versions here, but the extended cut is a thing of beauty. The theatrical cut loses 35 minutes of much needed footage, and in doing so loses much of the heart and soul of the film. Had i initially seen the theatrical cut first i honestly wouldnt have cared for the movie. The extended cut however is one of the best experiences i have ever had with a film. Just a wonderful experience, one that all people should see. If the story of Pocahontas intrigues you at all, watch this film, you wont be disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/63460619-criterion-coll-new-world](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/63460619-criterion-coll-new-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
