Killing Fields, The: Special Edition | R4 |
The Killing Fields has been released in a number of versions on DVD. The Region 1 United States release includes the commentary by director Roland Joffé and a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround encoded soundtrack. The Region 2 French Special Edition 2-disc release includes three unique extras; Testimony: From Sihanouk to Khmer Rouge by Bernard Hamel (72:12), testimonies from the refugees (22:20) and an interview with the president of the "victims of Khmer Rouge" committee (18:36); and soundtracks in English and French in DTS 5.1. The Region 2 German release has no extras and is cropped to 1:33:1 full-frame. The Region 2 Japanese release has the same specifications as the German version. The Region 2 Dutch release includes the Omnibus documentary with Dutch subtitles and an English DTS 5.1 soundtrack. The Region 2 United Kingdom 2-disc release is identical to the Region 4 release, with the same extras and soundtracks. Therefore, in my opinion, the best release available of The Killing Fields for Region 4 collectors is the current 2-disc Umbrella version. |
