Glenn Kenny on Blast of Silence's release
Now that Blast of Silence has hit stores, Glenn Kenny of Premiere writes an appreciation describing the film's long history as a cult object and its "biggest critical champion in the '80s," Michael Weldon. Kenny writes: "while the wonderful new Criterion disc brings both the film and Baron out into the light of day, as it were--Baron hosts a great documentary about the New York locations of the film, and his own history--the movie itself still has the unsettling feel of an out-of-time, one-of-a-kind artifact."
