Title Best
In the Electric Mist (Blu-ray)=
As mentioned there are two cuts of the film on BR and SD.

One SD is a Region 1 extra-less Producer’s Cut (102 minutes); the second a Region 2 Director’s Cut (117 minutes) released in France by director Tavernier. This Region 2 SD release has an audio commentary by Tavernier on disc 1 plus a second disc of extras:

  • Making Of (32:14)
  • Documentary – James Lee Bourke: Louisiana Stories (51:49 min)
  • Interview with Director Bertrand Tavernier (32:14)
  • 5 Deleted Scenes (4:54)
  • 4 Scenes with Buddy Guy music (4:36)

The BRs continue this theme. The US Region A BR has the Producer’s Cut and no extras. The French Region B BR has the Director’s Cut, the Making Of, The Louisiana Stories feature, the deleted scenes and music plus an Interview with blues guitarist George “Buddy” Guy and director Bertrand Tavernier (34:29) but not the audio commentary. Both versions have DTS HD MA audio as options.

This is a tough call. Here in Australia from Madman we are the only region so far to get the opportunity to have both cuts of the film but miss out on the extras. Personally, while I like quality extras, the film itself is why we get the BR, so I’d go with our Australian Region B release. Maybe a draw?
