Don't need to see the film now. Highlight right there.

I love the way a reviewer on IMDB titles their post of Career Opportunities as a - quote - "misunderstood picturesque masterpiece"

Heard this announced, nice to see the box and even though I already bought Career Opportunities from US, this one will have new extras, so it's OK. Don't have the other 2 films, maybe a DVD of House of Sand...

Well, elements of it are ‘picturesque’—no denying that—but to call it a masterpiece?! Wow. Just wow.

Wonder what we can read into Connelly herself not appearing to be involved in any of the extras?

Meh, not much of a collection really.
