My Life as a Dog tells the story of Ingemar, a working-class twelve-year-old sent to live with his uncle in a country village when his mother falls ill. Once there, Ingemar finds refuge from his misfortunes and unexpected adventure with the help of the town's warmhearted eccentrics. A bittersweet evocation of the struggles and joys of childhood, this film features an incredibly mature and unaffected performance by lead actor Anton Glanzelius. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Lasse Hallström's Academy Award-nominated My Life as a Dog.

Release Notes on Restoration
My Life as a Dog
My Life as a Dog is presented pillarboxed in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. This new high—definition digital transfer was created from a 3 5mm interpositive. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from a 35mm magnetic track. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. Audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle.
