Given his lengthy filmography, this episode with Depp easily could have been two hours long. This episode will cater more to acting students, but Depp’s quirky mannerisms and odd perspectives make for an interesting experience for the layperson, regardless of whether or not they are a fan of his art.
I’m not the religious sort, but there is something otherworldly about a man who can passionately and accurately inhabit the lives of other people, both real and fictional, as astoundingly as Johnny Depp can. Even when I’m not interested in a particular film as a whole, I will watch it merely for Depp’s performance.
The only special feature, if you can call it that, is an intro/flashback of the Johnny Depp episode by host James Lipton. Additional footage of Depp’s interview would have been ideal, but the DVD is still worth watching, even for the uninitiated into the fantastical world that Depp has created throughout his career.
