Title Best
Europa (Zentropa)R2E

    The Region 4 release is a direct port of the Electric Parc Region 2 release. That release however includes Europa as part of Lars von Trier's Europe Trilogy: 4 Disc Hypnotic Edition. Alongside Element of Crime and Epidemic (both forthcoming from Áccent), the release includes a fourth disc of approximately 275 minutes of extra features. I have not yet confirmed whether we will see these extras in Region 4: it is possible that after the single release of each film Áccent will release the entire trilogy package. I very much hope they do, or we will miss out on the following documentaries:

  • "A Conversation with Lars von Trier"
  • "Trier's Elements"
  • "Portrait of Lars von Trier"
  • "One Day with Peter Aalbaek"
  • "Im Laboratorium des Doktors von Trier"
  • "Lars von Trier Anecdotes"
  • "Interviews"
  • "Europa - The Faecal Location"
  • "Tom Elling - Storyboarding Element of Crime"
  • "Joachim Holbeck: The Emotional Music Script for Europa"
  • "Henning Bendsten: From Dreyer to von Trier"
  • Plus trailers for von Trier's films, a Europa promo and a 16 page booklet.

        Tartan has released the package (identically) in the UK. The package is also available in other European markets. Europa is currently unavailable in Region 1.

        Until Region 4 receives the entire Electric Parc package, Region 2 comes out on top. The local release is excellent though if you can do without all of those special features.

    EDIT: As confirmed below, Accent will be releasing the full Europe Trilogy set. I would recomend waiting for the local release, giving Accent the support they greatly deserve.
