Title Best
NostalghiaR2UK

    I'll compare this local Umbrella release of Nostalghia against the all region US release from Fox Lorber - January 2004 and the region 2 release by Artificial Eye, which is a 2-disc edition - February 2003.

    The Fox Lorber release contains the minor addition of the theatrical trailer and text based production credits. The US edition is presented with a NTSC transfer in a letterboxed aspect ratio of 1.63:1.

    The R2, Artificial Eye edition features some excellent special features. The second disc includes, Tempo di Viaggio - 62:19 and  Andrei Tarkovsky in Nostalghia - 94:48. Apart from these two lengthy documentaries, there is also text interviews, biographies and filmographies.

    It's highly likely that the Umbrella edition has the same transfer as the R2 Artifical Eye release. Having said that, it has been reported that Nostalghia Cinematographer, Giuseppe Lanci, says the transfer of the Fox Lorber edition is far more faithful to Tarkovsky's vision of the film.
