The Graduate 4K UHD 3-disc Collector's Edition in September

7 July 2025

StudioCanal is to release a new special 3-disc Collector’s Edition of Academy Award and five-time BAFTA winning 1967 trailblazer The Graduate, directed by Mike Nichols. Starring Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in their breakout roles, The Graduate is a landmark coming-of-age film that captured the voice of a restless generation – and still resonates today.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Director and winner of five BAFTA Awards, including Best Film, The Graduate is one of the most celebrated and highly influential classics in modern cinema. Truly iconic and utterly groundbreaking in its unique visual style and subject matter, it changed the face of modern film and the minds of expectant audiences.

Deep in the suburbs of Pasadena, a bored, confused and alienated twenty-one-year-old graduate named Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) awkwardly drifts from moment to moment, in constant turmoil over his lack of direction and the uncertain, impending future. Driven by a desire for experience and desperate to avoid the corporate, deluded, and mediocre world of his affluent parents, Benjamin succumbs to the advances of an older woman and begins an affair with the persuasive and enigmatic Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft), the wife of one of his father’s business partners. But what starts as a farcical fling becomes painfully complicated when Ben finds himself falling in love with her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross).

Available on 4K Ultra-HD for the first time, this iconic film, meticulously restored for its 50th anniversary in 2017, is presented with a Blu-Ray disc and a copy of Simon & Garfunkel’s unforgettable Grammy-winning soundtrack featuring classic hits Mrs. Robinson and The Sound of Silence, and includes archive interviews and audio commentaries with cast & crew alongside a selection of other bonus material. Also included is a 64-page booklet with new essays by film writers Christina Newland, Helen O’Hara, David Jenkins and Simon Brew, a print of the original film poster and a new artwork designed by Concepción Studios.
