That the voices lap and overlap one another isn't simply a recording glitch (as I imagined intially), it actually mirrors the experimental, rhetrorical devices in the film in which incongrous moments (that cannot make linear sense, when first presented)appear early in the film and re-emerge in the course of a chronological narrative that's told with very specific intent to inform the viewer, obliquely, of the presence of artistic license. Lem Dobbs' <i>Double Indemnity</i> commentary (with Nick Redman) is all the reason I needed to buy the DVD. His insights and passion for historic Hollywood, filmmaking and complete ideas practically eclipse (or double) the value of the exquisite film he's talking about. <i>Snatch</i> and <i>Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels</i> might also wind your clock. I've also been impressed by <i>The Transporter</i> franchise, largely because of British civility in the protagonist from hell.

It may be a little to slow for some, but it really is an amazing film.
