Whatever you think of Smith's films (which have been alternately praised for their realistic yet witty dialogue, and panned for being "peurile, childish, swearathons" (I know, I know; I'm trying to understand just why that is such a bad thing too), if you have even a shrivelled and atrophied sense of humour, even if you think that "there are some things that are no laughing matter", you'll almost certainly crack a smile or two if you watch this dvd.
Essentially Smith did a US college campus tour which consisted (theoretically) of a number of Q&A sessions. What it actually seemed to consist of is Smith recounting anecdotes and tales of his career and his life. This would be a DVD of purgatory if most directors did this. However, Smith is always hysterically funny, occasionally illuminating, and not afraid to take on awkward questions (or even drunken questions), and his candour is refreshing in an industry which is seemingly populated by "wonderful people" and "great actors".
Not only that, but it's one of the few non-fiction dvd's out at the moment that you can watch with either right or left wing friends....
