You were right about Stray Dogs delivering, my god that whole second half was incredible. It's impossible to overstate just how much of an added effect those final scenes can have if you've seen the earlier films.

Glad you had that experience with it!

More than any director I can think of, his work can be read as one continually unfolding piece... and as such, would lend itself perfectly to an immersive box set (with all the shorts, please!).
