Region 4 Winners and Losers

The Dual-Disc R4 (Icon) release is the best release for English speaking audiences. However please note a number of readers have noticed an error on the DTS soundtrack. After contacting Icon in regards to this error, I doubt it will be corrected in the near future. In R4 La Môme was also released as a Limited Edition set featuring the CD soundtrack and slipcase packaging.

The R1 (HBO) release of La Môme features only one featurette titled Stepping into Character (7:22) and Optional English, French and Spanish subtitle options. There is no DTS soundtrack on this release. This release is titled as an Extended Edition with a (NTSC) runtime of 140:15. I am assuming when La Môme was screened theatrically in the United States, it may have been cut.

The Dual-Disc R2 (TF1 Vidéo) release of La Môme is the best release for French speaking audiences. In addition to the same features available on the R4 (Icon) release there is also an audio commentary with Olivier Dahan, theatrical trailer, weblink and Easter egg. Although the feature film features optional English subtitles, the extras do not.
