Title Best
Head-On (Gegen die Wand)R2UK

    The Region 1 version apparently has an anamorphic widescreen treatment which would be nice to see. The sound is the same. However, one review suggests that there may be a problem with the source print of the Region 1 release having been taken from the German release of the movie without accounting for local differences resulting in some blurring in the paused image and some overlapping of the image in fast motion sequences, both of which could be very distracting. This is not a problem in the Region 4 release.

    A review of the English Region 2 release suggests that this has the benefit of anamorphic widescreen treatment without any visual problems. The sound is still the same but it includes in place of the features above two different features - a commentary track with writer-director Fatih Akin and editor Andrew Bird - and Fatih Akin's short film "The Evil Old Songs".

    I cannot comment on the quality of those features above those on the Region 4 release.

    Apparently the German version of the movie has surround sound but no English subtitles.

    For enthusiasts of this movie wanting the widescreen experience the Region 2 release would seem to be the best although others may be satisfied with the Region 4 DVD.
