One of last year's creepiest and most underrated thrillers, One Hour Photo was the product of music video director Mark Romanek, who seemed to be channeling Stanley Kubrick. At the beginning of his commentary for the DVD, Romanek expresses the hope that he can get through it without sounding like "an egotistical asshole." He need not have worried; his reminiscences and observations are trenchant and some of his revelations legitimately surprising (in contrast to the self-aggrandizing bilge too often heard on DVD commentaries). Romanek reveals that the movie's opening--in which the obsessive photo clerk played by Robin Williams undergoes interrogation at police headquarters, thereby tipping off the audience that he has done something horribly wrong--was suggested by filmmaker Francis Coppola, to whom a concerned Romanek had sent a rough cut for appraisal. Williams, who does the commentary with Romanek, is uncharacteristically subdued and more than willing to let the director explain himself. Rather charmingly, the actor reveals an almost childlike joy in having mastered the technical arcana of one-hour photo processing during his first week on the movie. He and Romanek both refer to sequences cut from the release print, and it's unfortunate that Fox didn't see fit to include them on the disc. The remaining extras--among them a Cinemax making-of featurette, a joint appearance by Williams and Romanek on The Charlie Rose Show and a Sundance Channel Anatomy of a Scene installment--are perfunctory supplements that add little to what the star and director reveal in the commentary. The film itself has been blessed with an immaculate transfer, and hopefully this handsome presentation will win the approval of home viewers initially put off by the idea of a favorite funnyman playing a dangerous psychotic. --Ed Hulse
