Limbo

"Columbia/TriStar presents Limbo in a lovely 1.85:1 widescreen transfer, with Dolby Digital 5.1 and Surround Sound 2.0 options. Anyone interested in the process of making a movie will find a wealth of information from director John Sayles in his audio commentary. Since he works as the writer, director, and editor of his films, Sayles has a seemingly endless supply of information and insight, from the technical to the philosophical. Always a unique filmmaker, Sayles understands the particular difficulties faced outside the studio system, and offers intelligent advice on working within a limited budget, talking to the musicians, and mastering the difficulty of filming intimate scenes. The DVD also includes an isolated music soundtrack, so the viewer can individually enjoy the six songs performed by actress Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, as well as the theatrical trailers for Limbo and Sayles' The Secret of Roan Inish. Functioning as a mini film school as well as an intriguing drama about ordinary working people, this disc makes for a satisfying night of cinema."
