Notes: Most of this information was taken directly off the DVD cases. I also found information on Easter Eggs at www.dvdreview.com, www.dvdtown.com , www.dvdeastereggs.com, and www.dvdangle.com, and from our friends at Johnny Depp Zone.
We are still waiting for news of when Cry-Baby will be released on DVD. And of course still percolating on our patience for the distribution of Ed Wood.
From Josje:
You can buy the DVD edition of "Arizona Dream" (not available in the
US) from the French and German Amazon sites, and the German CD has
an English, German and Spanish track, and subtitles in German, English,
Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish.
Special Features include: Teaser, Theatrical Trailer, Promo Reel, 1 deleted
scene and a long interview with Johnny Depp English tract, so you don't
have to speak German to hear it. Here is the link she sent.www.amazon.de
More on ARIZONA DREAM DVD for Region 2 only: from DVD
Times
The extras begin with two trailers, a teaser (0:29) and the full theatrical
trailer (2:14). These are obviously proper to the French market as the
herald “Le nouveau film d’Emir Kusturica Arizona Dream”. However, the dialogue
in the trailer is in English, with burned-in French subtitles in the longer
trailer, without them in the teaser. A promo reel, which gives the title
as Arizona Dreamers, is also available, running 4:37. It contains some
footage that’s not in the final film. All the above extras are in good
shape, transferred in non-anamorphic 1.85:1.
There is one deleted sequence, running 14:57, in non-anamorphic 1.85:1.
The picture quality is noticeably poorer, looking as if it were transferred
from video, with all the artefacting that implies. The first scene shows
a meeting between Axel and a tramp in the street at night-time. Axel then
goes into an abandoned shop (the red balloon from the prologue makes another
appearance here) and falls asleep. The second half of this sequence is
an extremely elaborate single-take Steadicam shot, printed in sepia, taking
place at the wedding reception of Axel and… Well I won’t say who his wife
is, as that would introduce a plot spoiler for the film as a whole. This
seems however to be a plot thread entirely removed in the editing – understandable
when you realise that Kusturica’s first cut was four hours long.
The final extra is an interview (recorded in 2002) with a somewhat dishevelled
Johnny Depp (smoking throughout) conducted by the film’s producer, Claudie
Ossard. This interview runs 38: 00 and is in anamorphic 16:9. The interview
is partly in French, partly in English, with optional English and German
subtitles. As an interview it’s something of a love-in, but some interesting
stories do emerge.
