DVD Commentary

I'm watching the movie on DVD and listening to the commentary as I type this. I strongly encourage everyone to get their hands on this film and if interested listen to the commentary if at all possible. Very enjoyable.

My favorite line is Ali Selim saying something along the lines of "it was a poem, not a documentary". He speaks of how the film is capturing a memory as opposed to it just being a pure period piece.

This might help clear up any arguments about inconsistencies and nit-picky details.
