Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The R1 release is similar in terms of content of the series, but apparently has a fault in Episode 3 that is on all releases.

    The R2 UK version has the series split into 5 episodes as originally aired on UK TV. It also includes the documentary “Tranceformer: Portrait of Lars Von Trier” which is about 50 minutes long. It has been censored, however.

    The R2 Danish version released by Zentropa (Von Trier’s production company) appears to be the same as the R4 version in terms of content – the running time is identical, the show is uncensored, the special features are the same – including the extensive list of subtitles.

    Given the above, I would suggest that the R4 release is in fact a clone of the Danish version – particularly given the Zentropa credits on the R4 DVD, and the fact that it is uncut and has identical running times.

    Depending on region coding locks, I suggest buy whichever of the R2 Danish and R4 Australian releases you can find cheaper.
