Title Best
La Bęte Humaine (Directors Suite)R1

    The Region 1 Criterion Collection release of La Bęte Humaine has an identical video and audio transfer to the Region 4 Madman release, although it has more extras. These include the following:

  • An introduction to the film by Jean Renoir
  • An interview with director Peter Bogdanovich
  • Archival interviews with Renoir discussing his adaptation of Emile Zola’s novels, his process with actors, and directing actress Simone Simon
  • A gallery of on-set photographs and theatrical posters
  • The original theatrical trailer
  • A liner notes booklet featuring writings by film critic Geoffrey O’Brien, historian Ginette Vincendeau, and production designer Eugene Lourie

    Therefore, with its additional extras, the Region 1 Criterion Collection version of La Bęte Humaine is the best version currently available on DVD.
