Guy Ritchie's commentary is a bit flat as the director duly notes how he wasn't interested in doing commercials but the roster of filmmakers and the ability to have complete artistic control was too tempting for him to pass up. Yawn.

Being a huge Wong Kar-Wai fan, I was very excited to be able to hear him comment on one of his films. Unfortunately, this track does not deliver. The majority of the commentary is filled with silence. He makes a few quick comments that add nothing to the film and give no insight into the creative process.


4/10

True, Wong's track is sparse but I found it enjoyable nonetheless as he talked about his love of improvisation and spoke admiringly of working with Forest Whitaker.

Iñárritu's track is the most fascinating as he explains that the short was based on a real event that happened in Mexico many years ago. He also talks about how he and cinematographer, Bob Richardson, improvised constantly with the camera, shooting "Powder Keg" like a documentary with 16 mm film. Easily the best of the bunch.
