Yes, with a commentary track by Jack Nicholson of all people. Apparently, he just doesn't do those things, which gives you an idea of the high esteem he holds Antonioni and this picture in. (This is what I was told. I have not checked to see if Nicholson has done other commentary tracks.) I haven't heard the whole thing yet, but he seems still very impressed with Antonioni and what he was doing here.


I just re-watched the Passenger and it was wonderful. I must get that DVD with the commentary!

Such a great film. I have gotten more and more into filming locations in my old age, and this film has lots of cool ones. Antonioni goes all over the place (Germany, London, Spain, Algeria??) and makes it all look great. Plus my abiding fantasy of tripping out in the north African desert. Plus Maria Schneider...

I don't remember voting in this poll, but I'm pretty sure I put "Rollerball" on the final list.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?
