On August 14th, Jaws
made its debut on Blu-ray. Its arrival
has truly been a long time coming. Included
in the supplemental materials is a brand new documentary titled The Shark is Still Working: The Impact &
Legacy of Jaws. It chronicles the history
of Jaws as a cultural
phenomenon. Though I have been affected
by that phenomenon, I was a late comer to the party. Jaws
was released two years before I was born.
I wouldn’t “discover” the film until a good many years later. However, once I finally did, I became a
believer.
