This is actually a combination of audio commentary, with director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Marc Klein, and a collection of behind-the-scenes featurettes. Scott says that he has lived in Provence for 15 years and most of the film was shot several minutes away from his home. The director talks about the editing choices he made, including how much of the flashbacks to keep. Klein talks about his working relationship with Scott and praises Crowe’s comedic chops coming across as a little too cocky at times. The featurettes blend rather nicely with the commentary, especially Scott’s perceptive observations, making this an infinitely more interesting experience than the film itself.
