Watched it last night. Very good video and audio (2-channel). Only extras are a short French trailer for the film and a 2-3 minute interview with the director from the Cannes festival where it took the palm d'or. If you like the film I'd recommend it highly. It's available at DDD for under $15.
For those not familiar with the film - it's a wild fantasy about war-torn Yugoslavia from the 2nd Word War to present day. The lead actor,Miki Manojlovic,reminds me of an Eastern European version of Eugene Levy. The film reminds me a little of The Tin Drum. Although it's filled with humor it's also a very serious study of the times and the ending is very moving (and something of a tribute to Fellini,I think).
