You should! I have the Sony DVD from 2003, which includes something as rare as a Jack Nicholson audio commentary. It’s fascinating to listen to. He very rarely gives interviews, so it becomes a rare glimpse into the mind of my favourite actor. It’s one of the few films where the director managed to be so all-powerful, he toned down Nicholson’s performance to suit the narrative. The sheer existential crisis his character experiences in the desert at the beginning of the film, is a masterclass in subdued intensity.
