Description:Astonishing Alpine location photography and a young Robert Redford (The Sting) in one of his earliest starring roles are just two of the visual splendors of Downhill Racer, the visceral debut feature by Michael Ritchie (The Bad News Bears). In a beautifully understated performance, Redford is David Chappellet, a ruthlessly ambitious skier competing for Olympic gold with an underdog American team in Europe, and Gene Hackman (The French Connection) provides tough support as the coach who tries to temper the upstart's narcissistic drive for glory. With a subtle screenplay by the acclaimed novelist James Salter, Downhill Racer is a vivid character portrait, buoyed by breathtakingly fast and furious imagery that places the viewer directly in the mind of the competitor.
"Downhill Racer" on Blu-Ray, presented by Criterion Collection (Direct), is a gripping sports drama that captures the intensity and ambition of competitive skiing. Starring Robert Redford as David Chappellet, an ambitious skier striving for Olympic gold, the film explores themes of determination and personal sacrifice. Gene Hackman delivers a powerful performance as the tough coach who pushes Chappellet to his limits. The movie is directed by Michael Ritchie in his feature debut, showcasing his keen eye for realism and character-driven storytelling. The Criterion Collection is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films with high-quality restorations and insightful bonus features. Robert Redford's illustrious career includes iconic roles in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting," and directing Oscar-winning films like "Ordinary People."

This Blu-Ray edition offers cinephiles an essential piece of American cinema history.
