It’s not just movie magic. The Criterion Closet videos are filmed inside of a real closet — not a truck — a Criterion Collection rep confirms to Vulture. After a post from @PhysicalMedia went viral on X with a photo of what looks to be a truck labeled “Criterion Closet” inside a warehouse, movie lovers began spiraling, wondering if stars like Winona Ryder and Kyle MacLachlan were just playing the part of a cinephile in a closet that’s actually a van. Thankfully, everyone can breathe a little easier knowing it’s a practical set. Vulture followed up with Criterion to confirm what the truck was used for but in case they are still looking for suggestions, here’s some ideas.
Criterion closet should be a van that goes from town to town like a bookmobile. Children chasing them down like an ice cream truck
