SANTA SANGRE (Part 2 of 2)

If you missed my first installment last week, catch up right here if you're too lazy to scroll down: http://nickcato.blogspot.com/2011/01/santa-sangre-part-1-of-2.html
While I've seen some of the extras on this Severin DVD on other DVDs, the ones I hadn't are just fantastic, including a great interview with Jodorowsky by musical conductor Simon Boswell (where there's some fun info. if you're a fan of THE HOLY MOUNTAIN), a couple of strange short films and a music video, a Japanese trailer, and an incredible making-of feature titled Forget Everything You Have Ever Seen: The World of SANTA SANGRE, which fans of the film will surely watch multiple times. There's also an interesting look at Goyo Cardenas, the real life serial killer who SANTA SANGRE is loosely based on.
The transfer of the film itself is flawless (and this is the DVD I'm reviewing, NOT the blu-ray, which looked incredible at the screening I attended---see part one of this blog), and there's some deleted scenes featuring commentary from the director. For those who haven't seen the extras on other DVD releases of this film, there's a few other director interviews that'll surely inform and entertain.
This will easily be one of the best DVD releases of the year. And if you haven't experienced the film yet, this is the way to do it.
