Alan Rudolph’s (Welcome to L.A.) 1984 Choose Me was the comic and cutting exploration of the mysteries of human desire that established him as one of the most boldly idiosyncratic independent auteurs of the 1980s.

An achingly romantic neon dream set at the smoky dive Eve’s Lounge, a collection of strangers—including an insecure radio sexpert (Geneviève Bujold, Earthquake), a commitment-phobic former sex worker (Lesley Ann Warren, Color of Night), and a globe-trotting mystery man (Keith Carradine, The Long Riders)—become entangled in a web of passion, jealousy, and self-discovery.

Grooving to the rhythms of Teddy Pendergrass’s sexy slow jams, Choose Me exists on its own offbeat wavelength—knotty, surprising, and deeply tender in its vision of lost souls wounded by love yet still reaching out for human connection.

Criterion’s director-approved edition contains the following features:

  • New 4K digital restoration, supervised by director Alan Rudolph and producer David Blocker, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack
  • In the 4K UHD edition: One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features

  • Excerpts from an interview with Rudolph at the Midnight Sun Film Festival
