“There are a lot of reasons to seek out The Annihilation of Fish, especially since it's a rare chance to see three late, great actors onscreen together: Lynn Redgrave, Margot Kidder and James Earl Jones.” Justin Chang, NPR www.npr.org/2025/02/14/n...

Charles Burnett’s KILLER OF SHEEP has been in my top three most wanted Blu upgrades for over a decade & now it’s making the leap right to 4K UHD. Will likely be my release of the year. And perfect timing with THE ANNIHILATION OF FISH in theaters! @criterion.bsky.social @milestonefilms.bsky.social

"The Annihilation of Fish" was made in 1999...Doros' efforts to get it in front of an audience — finally — is a love story that is almost as epic as the one in the movie. Only this love story is between Doros, his partner, Amy Heller, and Burnett, the film's celebrated director. bit.ly/3COsGsi
