I don't listen to many commentary tracks because I don't make a lot of time to rewatch films, but the commentary for The Limey is interesting and hilarious, with screenwriter Lem Dobbs grousing at Soderbergh's choices of what to cut from his script, and Soderbergh mostly just taking it, occasionally pushing back.

Morbs, are you watching on a browser window, or on a tv with a streaming device like Roku or Apple TV? Need some more details. Thanks to HDCP Chrome on Mac won't work for playback, but Safari works fine.

Just checked the Criterion Channel facebook group and apparently this is cropping up for a number of users. Alfred, do you watch on the laptop screen or push the video to a tv with an HDMI cable? It seems the cable and the tv have to be HDCP-compliant.
― Irritable Baal (WmC), Wednesday, 27 May 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
I push the video to a TV from a laptop, and it will only work if I set the remote to the applicable option. Even if the connection is plugged in, Criterion won't play the film if I have the remote set to TV or DVD.

It came from a land down under . . . From the early seventies through the mideighties, a resurgence of government funding for national film production gave birth to a generation of brave, unconventional new voices who made Australia the home to a brief but bright-burning cinematic renaissance. Among the filmmakers who emerged from this artistic flowering were pivotal figures like Peter Weir, George Miller, Gillian Armstrong, Bruce Beresford, Fred Schepisi, and Phillip Noyce, many of whom went on to successful international careers. Encompassing subversive visions of Australian history (PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, MY BRILLIANT CAREER), dystopian science-fiction cult classics (MAD MAX, THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS), groundbreaking coming-of-age dramas (THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND, PUBERTY BLUES), and beyond, these formally bold, thematically provocative films delved into the intricacies of Australian society and identity with newfound fearlessness. Among their most urgent concerns was for the country’s relationship to and mistreatment of its Indigenous people, as seen in works like THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH, WALKABOUT, STORM BOY, and THE LAST WAVE, the last three of which all star legendary Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil, who stands as one of the movement’s most enduring faces.
