Commentary
Most of us probably know someone or have a relative who suffers from schizophrenia. It is a terrible disease that destroys their lives. This film shows us the points of view of both the sufferer and those around him.
Technical
The image is not quite as sharp as it could be, partly because they used a relatively low bitrate, and there is only a modest surround environment.
Extras
These include the Director's Commentary, The Director's Cut of the Movie, Production Diary, They Made Me Do it Too, # 1 Fan: A Darkomentary, Storyboard-to-Screen Featurette, and other things.
