Details: Product descriptionThelma and Louise (Widescreen Edition) [Import]Special FeaturesRecorded for the original 1997 DVD ofThelma & Louise, Ridley Scott’s intelligent commentary track summarizes the director’s career before addressing all aspects of this blessed (and, for Scott, enjoyable) production. Of particular interest is Scott’s comparison of British and American notions of beauty, as expressed in the film’s archetypal use of California and Utah locations. Exclusive to this 2003 DVD, a commentary track by costars Sarandon and Davis and screenwriter Khouri is more casual (and partially redundant with the excellent retrospective documentary), but their observations about the film are both heartfelt and insightful (and Khouri’s right–the sexist truckeris an unfortunate caricature). The documentary highlights the film’s metamorphosis from script to screen, while deleted scenes reveal a richer development of male characters that’s less evident in the finished film. The multiangle « final chase » analysis indicates how closely Scott follows his storyboards. In addition to the (fortunately) unused « happy » ending, these features allow a thorough understanding ofThelma & Louise as a social phenomenon; only Glenn Frey’s music video seems dated and extraneous.–Jeff Shannon
