Video:

The visual presentation of God Is Great and I'm Not is solid, with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and vibrant color. The contrast and color levels are so important to this film, with Tautou surrounded by color in her modeling life and in more drab confines when religion is brought into the picture, and the transfer emphasizes both points. The subtitles are optional.

Sound:

The DVD packaging says that the film is presented with Dolby Digital Surround Sound, but the track sounded suspiciously like a 2.0 mix. Either way, it very front-loaded, but dialogue is clear.

Extras:

There are a few pages of production notes, a photo gallery, and three written interviews (Tautou, Baer, Bailly). The interviews are interesting, especially the one with Bailly, because of how forthright the director is with regards to the film, the process behind it, and the ability levels of the starring actors (Bailly comes out and admits that Baer needed a lot of work before stepping in front of the lens).

A poor trailer is also included on the disc. It appears to have been made by Koch Lorber just for the American DVD release – the film never got a true US theatrical release, showing in New York and Los Angeles for very limited engagements at the end of 2002 and beginning of 2003, respectively.

Final Thoughts:

With any other actress in the lead role, God Is Great and I'm Not would be a completely forgettable film. But Tautou's Michele keeps the film alive and makes it worth a rental for fans of the French actress.
