Supplements: What Goodies Are There?

I would have loved a commentary track here, but I guess I'll just have to settle for an impressive breadth of featurettes: We get new interviews with Dourif, screenwriter Benedict Fitzgerald and screenwriter/prodcuer Michael Fitzgerald, as well as an episode of Bill Moyers' Creativity WIth Bill Moyers showcasing John Huston and his work in Hollywood, and (most fascinating of all) an audio recording of Miss Flannery O'Connor herself reading her short story A Good Man is Hard to Find. 

The film's theatrical trailer is also included.

Parting Thoughts

Worth a rental for film viewers with a sweet tooth for all things bizarr-o, Wise Blood is a mesmerizing and beguiling picture, one that showcases some expert performances as well as director John Huston's distinct filmmaking style. This writer wouldn't exactly call it a film that demands repeat viewings, but fans will no doubt enjoy the great audio/video quality afforded the film on this Criterion release.
