The Sopranos: The Complete Series [DVD] [2007]

Product Information

And because of that, it all comes down to people clinging to the idea of a "better time" and maybe even a "better place," even though doing became yet another destructive force. It consumed the individual (and, in this case, the violent, insular community he's a part of) faster than the unavoidable tide of change – or, in the case of 'The Sopranos,' the inevitable end of it all.

Defining a Television Landmark (HD, 45 min.) – With some archival footage featuring the late James Gandolfini and the late Nancy Marchand, mixed with film critics, scholars, actors, and filmmakers, this lengthy featurette takes a look at the legacy of 'The Sopranos' from its very first episode to the finale that still has people talking. The list of those commenting on the series and its impact is quite extensive. Matt Zoller Seitz, Elvis Mitchell, Steve Buscemi, Steven Soderbergh, and Chase himself. The scholars involved help to legitimize the show's already massive legacy and cement it as a true television landmark.

Season 1 (and, for the most part, season 2, as well) would go on to be as consistently close to brilliant as possible. With the aforementioned 'College,' audiences got a glimpse of what the series would ultimately ask of them: To love and root for a character undeserving of such sentiment. Tony was a cold-blooded murderer, a man of multitudes and contradictions who was capable of truly despicable things. And yet there was genuine warmth in his character that proved difficult to ignore. Much of that is due to Gandolfini's inspired performance that would see him carousing with the likes of Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri (Tony Sirico), Silvio Dante (Steve Van Zandt), or battling it out with his uncle, the desperate-to-a-Don Corrado 'Junior' Soprano one minute, then having a family dinner with Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and AJ (Robert Iler) the next. Behind-the-Scenes Featurette (SD, 4 min.) - Another entertaining behind-the-scenes featurette that catches up with he cast and crew in the third season. It's always exciting when a classic TV series arrives in high definition blu-ray for the very first time. That refusal to step into the absolute would carry through to the very end, as the series culminated with one of the most brilliant, thought-provoking, and debatably ambiguous endings the world is ever likely to see. But 'Made in America' is more than its ending, it is a result of 85 largely inspired episodes that came before it, coalescing into an experience that should be venerated for being the perfect ending to a series certainly deserving of one. That uncertainty of the final shot is the uncertainty of Tony Soprano during his first session with Dr. Melfi. It is also why 15 years after the series first graced televisions everywhere, 'The Sopranos' remains something you will hunger for again and again.

The Real Deal (SD, 5 min.) - A featurette with critics and writers discussing the importance of The Sopranos. Subtitles in English, Latin Spanish, French, German, Castilian, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish

Well, that's it, The Sopranos is now no more. Right from the start the HBO series set the standard for quality writing, acting and cinematography - and ever Sopranos episode is here on DVD. David Chase Interviewed by Peter Bogdanovich (SD, 75 min.) –In this lengthy and in-depth interview, filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich chats with series creator David Chase in the Sopranos' kitchen set. As it progresses, the interview gradually works its way into a comfortable conversation about the creative process, how 'The Sopranos' came to be, and what Chase's real ambitions are. The opening sequence is more than just the song that will forever be linked to the series; it serves as a template for what the show was about: A world slowly eating away at itself from the inside out. It wasn't just an indictment on morality and greed, consumer and corporate culture, and the franchising and branding of everything down to slightest minutia; it was a heady insight into American life enraptured with the world as it once was, and unable to reconcile itself with the world as it is now.

A Sit-Down with The Sopranos (SD, 14 min.) - The cast members of the Soprano family discuss the how and why they wound up doing the show, and what makes it so great. There is a great deal of attention paid to the show's humor and how it is balanced with the violence and drama. Supper with The Sopranos: Two sit-down dinners with the cast and crew of the show discussing the series finale The Sopranos is hailed as the best television series of all time by TV Guide and Vanity Fair, with Rolling Stone awarding it first place in its 2016 roundup of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time. It’s also the recipient of 21 Emmys and five Golden Globes. Talk about credentials! When does The Sopranos movie release? The series is set to release on 1 October, 2021, in theatres with a simultaneous release on streaming service, HBO Max. Michael Gandolfini (James Gandolfini’s son) plays a young Tony Soprano in the movie. The film also boasts a stellar star cast including Vera Farmiga, Ray Liotta, John Bernthal and Billy Magnussen. The Sopranos' not only elevated the medium, but also illustrated some of television's distinct strengths over feature films, especially when it came to exploring the lives of its characters and delivering subtlety and nuance over bombast. Moreover, it helped TV to solidify itself as a writer's paradise, a place where those crafting the stories, building the characters, and giving them voices were the creators and supreme masters of their own microcosms. Directors – though some helmed magnificent episodes – came and went throughout the season, but the showrunner always remained. The popularity of the series and recognition of the level of its craft, then, gave rise to the age of the showrunner (or, at the very least, the concept of the showrunner as auteur), making celebrities out of the grand overseers of everything from a New Jersey crime family to a philandering Madison Avenue advertising executive in the '60s to a man literally and metaphorically riddled with malignancy, determined to leave his mark in the world.
