Distributed by Image Entertainment in America, the 1.78:1 framed anamorphic transfer looks stunning, replicating the highly colourful look of the film wonderfully well.

The English/Japanese language track in Dolby Digital 2.0 expands the front nicely for effects and music while dialogue sounds crystal clear.

Optional English subtitles only appear for the Japanese dialogue. During the select few times they do pop up, they are coherent and error-free.

Main supplement is a 26 minute, 57 second featurette called "A Story Of A...Goddess". Featuring interviews with Clara Law and cast talking of script development, casting, characters, preparation of leading lady Rose Byrne playing it blind and Rikiya Kurokawa learning English, the program is a worthwhile examination of assorted aspects on the production. The more valuable footage comes from various rehearsal and prep-sessions. Remainder of the extras come in the form of the trailer and a Stills Gallery (running 2 minutes, 20 seconds).

Inside the dvd case you'll find 4 page essay entitled "A Storyteller Of Displacement And Transmigration" by Dian Li that covers the career of Law's (but neglects the excellent Fruit Punch) in a style of analyzing that is a bit too thoughtful for me personally.
