Search - Cold Mountain

Based on the novel by Charles Frazier, Anthony Minghella's star-studded Cold Mountain is a sweeping tale set in the final days of the American Civil War. Jude Law stars as Inman, a young soldier who, despite an injury, is struggling to make his way home to Cold Mountain, NC, where his beloved Ada (Nicole Kidman) awaits. In Inman's absence, Ada befriends Ruby (Renée Zellweger), who helps her keep up her late father's farm. Meanwhile, in his travels, Inman encounters a menagerie of interesting folks. Also starring Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi, Donald Sutherland, and Philip Seymore Hoffman, Cold Mountain features original music by Jack White of the White Stripes. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Anthony Minghella's award-winning adaptation of Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain debuts on DVD with this excellent two-disc Collector's Edition from Miramax. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. John Seale's first-rate cinematography comes through in every scene. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded as well. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Minghella and editor Walter Murch. Although their comments are a tad dry, they are full of information about why they made the various artistic decisions that they did, and, as is to be expected, they are full of praise for every member of their admittedly excellent cast. Also included is a surprisingly entertaining 90-minute stage show that was performed at Royce Hall. The show consists of musicians Jack White and Alison Krauss performing songs from the film, readings from Frazier's novel by Brendan Gleeson and Kathy Baker, and readings from the script by Jude Law and Nicole Kidman. Minghella himself is interviewed also during the show. A pair of making-of featurettes and a comparison of the final film to the storyboards reveals how much forethought went into the making of the film. This is another quality release from Miramax. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
