Special Features
Special features include commentary by Billy Bob Thornton and (yes, this time it is really them) Joel and Ethan Coen; a 16-minute interview segment; a 46-minute conversation with cinematographer Roger Deakins; five deleted scenes; a still gallery; and filmographies. Under the Set Up menu, you will find an option to adjust the brightness on your television, so you can better enjoy the black-and-white Deakins cinematography.
