In case it matters; there is a cut on the back, through the UPC code, from the distributor. The purpose is for marking the DVD/BD as discontinued, not necessarily a bad thing, as discontinued items sometimes go up in value, as they become more scarce. The depth of the cut is different on each DVD/BD case, but never comes close to the disc inside. If it is important to you, feel free to ask about the extent of the cut on this particular DVD/BD. thanks ^TROY^

How the Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock 'n' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood

This 2 DVD set is Kenneth Bowser's BBC-produced documentary of Peter Biskind's controversial, best-selling book. It chronicles the evolution of a new breed of filmmaker who, in the late '60s and '70s, exploded old Hollywood, in the process redefining the very nature of movies. The results were edgy, impressionistic pictures-The Godfather, Easy Rider, Mean Streets, Midnight Cowboy, Rosemary's Baby, Taxi Driver-by maverick, now-legendary directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Lucas, Altman, Polanski, Peckinpah.

In brining the celebrated book to the screen, director Bowser employed some adventurous filmmaking of his own. Narrated by William H. Macy, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls features vintage clips of the directors who defined the movement; original interviews with such directors as Arthur Penn and John Milius, actors such as Peter Fonda and Richard Dryfus and more.
