Himalaya: L'Enfance D'Un Chef

"Eric Valli's Tibetan drama Himalaya comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, and does a fabulous job of capturing the film's superb location cinematography. The Tibetan soundtrack is impressively rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by the director in which he relates the struggles he had shooting the film, a nearly half-hour making-of documentary, an electronic press kit, and the original theatrical trailer. This is an excellent DVD from Kino."
