Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The US Region 1 disc is not released until 24 May 2005, and at the time of writing there are no pre-release reviews available, but it appears to be as bare-bones as the Region 4 in terms of extras.

    The UK Region 2 release seems to be the source of the Region 4, though it does not include the trailer. Despite conflicting information on www.dvdcompare.net, this is a 16x9 enhanced transfer.

    The German Region 2 release has the theatrical trailer and an alternative German soundtrack.

    The Region 2 release in France has the best extras of the lot. A making of documentary, an analysis of the film and a featurette about the director comprise about an hour of extra features. Unfortunately these are all in French and there are no English subtitles. It is also reported that initial pressings of this disc had forced French subtitles.

    At this stage there is no reason not to choose the Region 4, unless you speak French.
