Region 4 Winners and Losers

   The Criterion Collection version in Region 1 has the same interviews as the Region 4 Archival but also boasts footage from the time of Gertrud’s production and a stills gallery. The Region 2 film doesn't have the interviews but has the real thing - a documentary on the making of Gertrud, including footage from the premiere in Paris and interviews with Dreyer, members of the cast and crew and others a different short film The Village Church from 1947 and a fully illustrated booklet with essays by Dreyer scholar Casper Tybjerg.

The Region 2 holds sway here.
