Choose Me (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD]

Love drifts. Desire circles. Connection flickers in neon.

Directed by Alan Rudolph, Choose Me is an achingly romantic, defiantly idiosyncratic gem of 1980s American independent cinema—now restored and presented by The Criterion Collection in stunning 4K Ultra HD.

Set around the smoky confines of Eve’s Lounge, the film follows a group of lonely souls drawn together by chance, longing, and late-night confession. Among them are an insecure radio sex therapist (Geneviève Bujold), a commitment-averse former sex worker (Lesley Ann Warren), and a charming, globe-trotting drifter (Keith Carradine) whose presence sends ripples through every relationship.

Drifting on the seductive grooves of Teddy Pendergrass, Choose Me unfolds like a late-night radio confession—funny, melancholic, and quietly devastating. Rudolph’s film is less about romance fulfilled than about yearning itself: the fragile hope that connection might still be possible, even for those already wounded by love.

This director-approved Criterion 4K UHD edition presents the film in its most beautiful and complete form, preserving its glow, its rhythms, and its deeply humane spirit.
