The DVD release of this overlooked and underrated film by Joel and Ethan Coen has no extras associated with it, not even theatrical trailers or production notes -- ironic considering that this follow-up to the award-winning Barton Fink is a film for only the diehard Coen brothers fans who would pay for a collector's edition. The best thing that can be said is that the transfer is beautiful, in vibrant colors only seen on DVD. Two formats of the film are presented here: side one has the beautiful 1:85 widescreen transfer while side two is standard full screen. The audio is strictly stereo at best and the language and subtitles options are English and French only. Unless this film is way up on someone's list of all-time favorite films, its DVD release isn't worth owning. |
