I think many of the Criterion DVDs offer very illuminating extras (even if

there will always be some tensions around how such extras frame the film in

one way or another).  The two that I found most valuable in this regard were

Sirk's "All that Heaven Allows" and David Gordon Green's "George

Washington".
