The colors are warm and inviting without any saturation issues. Nice, clean, crisp images. Surround French Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Expressive soundtrack gives the system a workout, with exceptional basses that erupt with explosive power.

Good Full-length running commentary with director Anthony Minghella as he outlines the difficulties of making a period film in the present. Minghella obviously relishes the challenges of filmmaking, and provides enough information and insight to make listening to his comments worth it. Three production featurettes, each one dealing with a different aspect of the film. The cast and crew discuss the film in another featurette, sharing their feelings on making the film. Finally, there is a featurette on the music from the film, explaining the choices made and their importance to the story.
