		Directed by Jack Cardiff, a long time cinematographer, hence the lush camera work presented in GOAM, starting off with a trippy dream state ride through the mind of Marianne Faithful's character, Rebecca.
		Cardiff seem to have the right touch in guiding both leads in their several nude scenes and there is the right amount of chemistry between Delon and Faithful.
		Rounding out the rest of the extras, there is also a trailer and Jack Cardiff filmography as well as ones for Delon and Faithful.

		Jack Cardiff, one of the greatest British cinematographers, is to be honoured with the lifetime achievement award at this year's Oscars.
		I have had directors say to me "Jack, I would like you to try and get an atmosphere of pathos or poverty or happiness or something" and they would say to me "I don't know how you do it" but that is what they would say to me and I would do my best.

		Director Jack Cardiff is better known as a cinematographer on classics such as The African Queen and Black Narcissus.
		Among Cardiff's other directorial credits is a worthy adaptation of DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, but Girl on a Motorcycle is a saucy road movie with no final destination.
		Director Jack Cardiff provides an audio commentary but has few revelatory things to say about his film beyond technical considerations, and even makes several clunking errors (recalling his casting decisions concerning a scene that takes place in a provincial German café, he raves about how he strove to find authentic French locals!).

		Martin Scorsese's wonderfully generous and moving tribute to Cardiff in his foreword to the latter's autobiography 'Magic Hour' goes some way to giving an indication of the creativity of the world inhabited by Cardiff over such a long period.
		And Cardiff himself speaks with such admiration for those he has worked with, the kind of respect that only one artist can have for another with whom he has worked has created something new and exciting.
		I thought that was all wrong." Inspired by the work of Greg Toland and Orson Welles, Cardiff received his practical experience with masters like Harry Stradling where he soon learned that the technicians were not always in control.
