Zombie And The Ghost Train

Apart from an excellent text biography of the director, and a trailer reel of several of his other films (all, save Amazon, in unsubtitled Finnish), the only extra here is an interview with Mika Kaurismäki on his memories of the film.

The subtitles are in somewhat garbled English, and the interview is a brisk 11 minutes, but Kaurismäki is very to the point (and less evasive than his brother can often be), answering pretty much every question on Zombie And The Ghost Train that the viewer is likely to have: how he achieved in camera the 'floating' effect of the final sequence; how the protagonist is a composite of the real musician Pulu ("a well-known, funny character – loved by all, but still a tragic figure who died very young") and the musician and friend Silu Seppälä who plays him; how the dialogue was written on the fly and "the mood of the film changed as it was made"; and how content he still is with the film's ending ("subtle, but still cinematical"). This is more informative than many commentaries 15 times its length.
