The rest of the special features are the usual deleted scenes and out takes, but a nice bonus is the inclusion of a complete version of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" sung by Richie Havens and young Marcus Carl Franklin. They've also included a nice tribute to Heath Ledger, which is a montage of clips from the film, outtakes, and bits and pieces from when the camera was rolling before and after a scene being shot. It's surprisingly moving, probably because it's not cluttered up with people talking about the man, but instead allows you to see and experience him.
Although I suppose that shouldn't be a surprise as that's exactly what I'm Not There does with its portrayal of Bob Dylan. Don't come to this film expecting to be spoon fed answers or explanations about Bob Dylan, because you will be bitterly disappointed. However if you come to the movie with expectation of being allowed an opportunity to observe him in great detail, and see many facets of his personality revealed in unusual ways then you will come away happy. Who knows, you might even be able to draw some conclusions of your own about the man who remains one of pop music's greatest enigmas even to this day. I've seen the future of the biographical movie and it's I'm Not There.

I completely agree. It doesn't answer questions as much as it describes his personality. This was one of the best films of 2007. This is a must have for your collection of DVDs

I despised this movie, and I'm a huge Dylan fan. If capturing the mannerisms of Dylan was so important, why weren't the characters named Bob Dylan. Or is that not "artsy" enough? Ridiculous.
