Jungle Fever

The DVD presentation of Spike Lee's Jungle Fever is a good attempt to give fans a little more than just the film. Presented in widescreen 1:85, the film shines due in part to a great transfer and cinematographer Ernest Dickerson's fabulous lighting. Audio is also impressive, with Dolby Surround available on the English, French, and Spanish tracks. The extras, though few, are enough to satisfy. In additional to the theatrical trailer, cast and crew bios, production notes, and web links, there's a short "making of" featurette showing Spike Lee directing on the set and discussing the theme of interracial relations. It's a studio-produced electronic press kit , but it features interviews with much of the film's cast.
