The jacket art for the Criterion Collection’s new Missing DVD (out 10.21) is classy, nicely done. The helicopter shot, of course, is from a scene when Thomas Horman (John Shea) steps outside his hotel room in Vina del Mar and sees what he sees, which tells him (and us) that a military coup against Chile’s Salvador Allende government has begun. If I’d designed the cover I would have used the shot of the white horse being chased by soldiers in a jeep down a deserted Santiago street.
