Title Best
Prairie Home Companion, AR4

    The Region 1 and Region 4 editions of the film are considerably different, but it is difficult to make a firm judgement between which is the better version. The technical presentation, particularly the sound, of the feature on the Region 4 version is superior to Region 1, but there are more extras on the Region 1 disc. The extras on each disc are almost entirely different, so serious fans may consider getting both editions. I favour the Region 4 Edition for its DTS soundtrack (although the slight sync fault is a tad frustrating), as it is well suited to this music focused movie, but anybody looking for Robert Altman's take on the film or subtitles may prefer Region 1.

    The Region 1 edition contains the following features not found on the Region 4 edition:

  • Commentary with Robert Altman and Kevin Kline
  • Come Play With Us: A Feature Companion featurette
  • Onstage at the Fitzgerald: A Music Companion" - extended musical performances and advertising segments
  • Soundtrack preview (jump to songs in the film)
  • English and Spanish subtitles
  • Dolby Digital 2.0 Soundtrack

    The Region 4 edition contains the following features not found on the Region 1 edition:

  • The Making of A Prairie Home Companion Featurette
  • Cast Interviews
  • Photo Gallery
  • English DTS Soundtrack
