Milos Forman’s full vision for RAGTIME has finally been realized with the new Paramount Presents Blu-ray of the film, now available on Amazon and everywhere you get discs. This packed two-disc release includes the original theatrical version of the movie as well as Forman’s extended workprint, which the director mourned not seeing the light of day in 1981. Also included are new special features from my Reverend Entertainment including a fascinating conversation between RAGTIME writer Michael Weller and fellow frequent Forman collaborator and writer Larry Karaszewski on this movie and their years working with the award winning filmmaker. Full details below.
