Une Partie de Campagne (Directors Suite) | = |
Une Partie de Campagne has previously been released in Region 2 in France and the United Kingdom. The Region 2 United Kingdom release by the British Film Institute includes an audio commentary by film historian Philip Kemp, 32 minutes of discarded takes, 8 minutes of screen tests and a text biography on Jean Renoir. Subtitles in English are forced with this release. The Region 2 two-disc French release by Studio Canal includes the 85-minute documentary, Un Tournage a la Campagne, a 5-minute introduction to the film by Jean Renoir, an 8-minute interview with the producer Pierre Braunberger, an 8-minute featurette on their memories of the film from the technicians, 14 1/2 minutes of screen tests and a 52-minute discussion on the film by Les Cahiers du Cinema critics Jacques Aumont, Pascal Bonitzer, Jean-Louis Comolli, Serge Daney, Jean Narboni, Jean-Pierre and Sylvie Pierre Oudar. The French Studio Canal release has the best extras but contains no English subtitles. Therefore the best DVD of Une Partie de Campagne for English-speaking audiences is the Region 4 Directors Suite release. |
