Documentary from American Beauty Blu-ray

Is a decent enough interview/behind-the-scenes/clips-from-the-film piece that examines the process of bringing the film to the screen. Topics include the ideas and themes behind the script, the challenge of finding a studio willing to back the script, the choice of Sam Mendes as director and the qualities be brought to the picture, the assemblage of the cast and the bond formed between them, the way the film captures the oddity of life, and the work of Cinematographer Conrad Hall and Composer Thomas Newman.
