Lux Aeterna, a short film by Gaspar Noé, is highly regarded for its release and audio features, though some find it a throwaway effort. The Blu-ray includes DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and PCM 2.0 stereo soundtracks, an introduction by Noé, and an audio commentary. It also features behind-the-scenes photos and interviews, along with short films that inspired it.

"Lux Æterna looks stunning in this release, with a sharp and vibrant transfer that perfectly captures Gaspar Noé’s intense visual style. The slipcover is beautifully designed, and the included features add useful context to this brief but unforgettable film. A striking and carefully produced edition for collectors."
"A prized find at the Portland VS pop up. Another out of print title I didn’t expect to get my hands on. If you ever have a chance, go to VS’s pop ups if you can! So many great films new and out of print!"
"Worth buying for Dalle & Gainsbourg alone !! No brainer as a sale purchase …"
"Great release! Lots of good features and cool slip/booklet combo!"
"Once I received it. Immediately watched. Once saw it on film festival. Although it belongs to the screen, but if u missed it. Don’t miss it again. Don’t do that to yourself. Alone with special features is worth a buy."
"Movie: The introduction by Gaspar on the disc is so funny. At the end he says something like ~"If you're epileptic, just wave your hand in front of your face when the lights start " Extras: The Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome: Really great costumes and some neat visuals, but not enough to sustain my interest indefinitely absent a narrative hook. Luckily it's not feature length. I think it would've been fun to comment over with a friend or two. La Ricotta: Interesting enough, and there are some bits I found pretty funny. I feel like I might get more out of this if I had more Catholic context. Ray Gun Virus: Unique among things I've seen so far, and worth a watch for sure (*not* if you're epileptic). I'm glad it didn't go on _too_ long. The Flicker: A notable novelty. I respect the purity of the vision, although when you actually watch it I think it's too long. It could be half the length and I think you'd still get the same experience. Packaging: Bonus points for reversible cover. The artwork is great and I appreciate making the discs colorful."
"Great film very experimental 100% worth a watch!"
"Noes always cool"
"Beautiful film"
"So I've already seen this movie quite a few times, but I had to get this release solely for the bonus shorts, especially Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and La Ricotta."
