- "Shelf Life" (12:34, HD) is an interview with writer/director Paul Schrader, who recounts his fandom of Elmore Leonard, trying to follow Quentin Tarantino's lead after his work with the author's material. For "Touch," Schrader selected one of Leonard's least successful novels, providing a challenge for the helmer, who wanted to make a comedy about stigmata. Casting is celebrated, identifying Christopher Walken as entering the "brand" movement of his career, with Schrader told to stay away from directing him. The interviewee also analyzes the creation of a "language" with collaborators, working closely with cinematographer Edward Lachman. Schrader closes with a discussion of his financial failures, but also the "shelf life" of his work, including enduring interest in 1979's "Hardcore."
- "Something Approaching Confrontation" (12:11, HD) is a visual essay by Daniel Kremer.
- Theatrical Trailer (2:24, SD)
